AEW World Champion MJF recently spoke about the current situation of All Elite Wrestling and reflected on his contributions so far. After taking some time away from AEW television in recent years, MJF has been a consistent figure throughout 2026 following his victory at the AEW World Championship on December 27, 2025, at World Ends.
In an interview with Mostly Sports, MJF expressed his optimism about AEW’s growth, highlighting ongoing improvements in ticket sales across all markets and a gradual yet steady increase in TV ratings. He commented, “All Elite Wrestling is thriving like never before, with ticket sales rising year after year in every location and a slow but steady climb in ratings.” He added, “Wrestling is a roller coaster ride with highs and lows, but right now it’s on a clear upward path. Honestly, it’s easy to understand why—MJF returned and captured the world title.”
Recently on AEW Dynamite, MJF was defeated by Brody King in an eliminator match, earning King a guaranteed title shot against MJF in the near future. Besides this upcoming defense, MJF is also set to defend his championship at Revolution, where he will face either Hangman Adam Page or Andrade El Idolo—both contenders will be decided in an upcoming No. 1 contender match at Grand Slam Australia.
Fan Take:
This update is crucial for AEW fans as it signals a promising period of stability and growth for the promotion, anchored by MJF’s return and championship reign. It also sets the stage for high-stakes rivalries that could further elevate the sport’s excitement and visibility.
