Former AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman, also known as MJF, surprised fans with his return to All Elite Wrestling at Double or Nothing 2024. During this event, he made a comeback to seek revenge on Adam Cole and announced his extended commitment to the company. However, despite the buzz surrounding his return, MJF was missing from the May 29th episode of “AEW Dynamite,” sparking curiosity among fans about his whereabouts.
In a recent interview on “Busted Open Radio,” Tommy Dreamer, the ECW legend, shared his perspective on MJF’s absence from “Dynamite.” Dreamer mentioned that he was okay with MJF not appearing on the show, highlighting the importance of spacing out television appearances. While recognizing the excitement of a live audience and the impact of MJF’s presence, Dreamer also stressed the value of creating anticipation for his eventual return.
It seems that MJF’s next storyline will involve former ROH World Champion Rush, who challenged him on “Dynamite.” Dreamer commented on the selection of Rush as MJF’s initial opponent, noting the potential benefits for both wrestlers through this storyline. He also emphasized the necessity for MJF to reintegrate into the company’s creative plans before considering a shot at the title.
MJF is expected to feature in the June 5th episode of “AEW Dynamite,” where he might address Rush’s call-out. The anticipation for MJF’s comeback is growing, with fans eagerly awaiting to witness the development of his storyline in the upcoming weeks.
