It has been a bit and despite little news leaking, it sounds like MJF is returning soon; but, questions remain if it will be for AEW or WWE.

Fans lost Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) at the very end of 2023. It was not a good night for him, losing the AEW Championship and then Adam Cole revealing himself to be ‘The Devil’ who had tormented him. That dates back to the Worlds End pay per view and we have not seen MJF since. For the longest-time, it seemed like a bidding war could be taking place between AEW and WWE.
At one point, MJF was furious with AEW. After losing quickly on a pay per view, he cursed out Tony Khan during Dynamite. That promo gained lots of attention and the people at TV were not pleased. MJF would go home for several months until returning. While he won the World Championship as a heel, he began turning face. That moment occurred as he seemingly went from enemies to best friends with Cole. Of course, we all know now that Cole was never really friends with MJF.
Return Not Far Away
According to Fightful Select, MJF will be sticking with AEW; which many saw coming. Although, they continued how he should be back by Forbidden Door, which is June 30. No matches have been announced as the company is heavily focused on Double Or Nothing.
Upon returning, it will be intersting how AEW books him. Cole is apparently close to returning from injury, but any sparks between the former tag champions is gone. AEW would be airing a program that should have already ended, but it barely began because of injuries to Cole and MJF. Perhaps, since Khan is battling The Elite, MJF enters that fray. He can either return to his villainous ways or shock the world and help Khan. So, with MJF returning to AEW very soon, what program should he enter?
