Last week the AEW World Champion MJF made it clear what the wrestling crowd is up to at the moment, as he picked up his first All Elite Wrestling award. Before taping William Regal in the back of the head with a pair of brass knuckles, Friedman openly admitted that he’ll wrestle as little as possible in order to hold onto his title long enough to be a bargaining chip when his AEW contract is supposed to expire in 2024 (what’s been dubbed the “bidding war of the year”). 2024″). He then dropped a number of WWE references, saying it would make Hulk Hogan and Bruno Sammartino’s world titles seem small in comparison. He described his time as champion as a “reign of terror”, a phrase directly associated with Paul “Triple H” Levesque. Fans gave “The Game’s” booking in the early 2000s this rating because he was constantly connected to the World Heavyweight Championship from 2002-05.
Now it appears Friedman is trying to make that association with the King of Kings official, as this week it was discovered that Salt of the Earth had filed for the Reign of Terror trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
Will MJF go to WWE?
Friedman has been teasing the idea of eventually jumping to WWE for years, and according to insider reports, people inside WWE want to work with him, too.
“Whatever happens will happen,” MJF said in an interview earlier this year. “Here’s the deal. A lot of people think I tend to go one way or the other. That’s what I tend to do – money. That’s all I care about. That’s what I live for. That’s what I live and die for. So I go where the money is. Everyone who The biggest amount of money will go to me is where I’ll go. It could be anywhere. If there’s a backer who wants to start his own wrestling company and use me that’s where I’ll go. It’s that simple. That’s all I care about is money.”
Friedman would defend his title at that time winter is coming on December 14 against Ricky Starks. Check out this week’s Dynamite lineup below:
