MJF made a comeback to AEW after finalizing a fresh agreement with the organization. According to reports, the deal was sealed in 2022, making MJF the highest-paid performer within AEW. Despite swirling speculations about potential discord between MJF and the company, his innovative ideas have been described as unconventional and unexpected.
Furthermore, it came to light that MJF opted not to undergo shoulder surgery subsequent to an injury sustained in November 2023. Originally slated to contend against Adam Cole, with Cole potentially clinching the AEW championship from MJF, both wrestlers endured setbacks due to injuries, prompting a revision of the original plans. MJF reemerged at Double or Nothing, showcasing a tattoo inspired by AEW and stating his aim to embody a persona of “hate” going forward.
To maintain the element of surprise surrounding MJF’s return, strategic measures were implemented, such as his concealed transportation and arrival at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
