Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round because the salt of the earth, MJF, has made his jaw-dropping return to AEW at Double or Nothing in Las Vegas! The Sin City showdown saw MJF confront his arch-nemesis Adam Cole for the first time since Cole’s betrayal at Worlds End in December. This was no spur-of-the-moment surprise; according to Fightful Select, the return had been in the works for a while, with Sunday’s event as the marked target date. Preparations for his comeback were meticulous and methodical, like planning a heist in a Hollywood blockbuster.
Now, let’s talk injuries and smoke screens. MJF has been playing the long game, folks. Word on the street is that he sported a shoulder brace to keep everyone guessing about his return. It’s still up in the air whether he went under the knife, but one thing’s for sure: MJF knows how to keep the wrestling world on its toes.
As for his fiery feud with Adam Cole, don’t expect the fireworks just yet. The rumor mill suggests that a Cole vs. MJF clash isn’t in the immediate cards. But fret not, MJF fans—he’s got “significant creative plans” lined up, and a top-tier feud is on the horizon. Think of it as the teaser trailer before the summer blockbuster.
During his grand promo after sending Adam Cole packing, MJF made it clear he’s staying put in AEW. This declaration squashes any lingering doubts from the much-hyped “Bidding War of 2024” storyline. The man of the hour is sticking around on a multi-million dollar per year contract—talk about making bank!
Let’s not forget, before his hiatus, MJF held the AEW World Championship for a record 406 days. His reign ended at the hands of Samoa Joe, and while he was battling multiple injuries, he never lost his swagger. Speculation was rife that he might dive into free agency post-title loss, but MJF has firmly planted his flag in AEW territory.
Stay tuned, wrestling aficionados. The return of MJF is just the beginning of what’s sure to be a wild, entertaining ride!
