The competition between AEW and WWE is just starting to heat up. Through the slight tension in the ratings to Tony Khan’s reaction to WWE trying to counter book Rampage. Change is in the air, and more moves are being made on both sides. Now a lot of this is interaction between AEW and WWE wrestlers.
A lot of wrestlers have reacted to Roman Reigns‘ statement suggesting that AEW are not on their level and he doesn’t watch them. Now big mouth MJF has commented on what Roman Reigns said about AEW.
In an interview with Rasslin:
“Roman Reigns lost in the key demographic to Ruby Soho, and Ruby Soho sucks, so I don’t know what to tell you. Don’t get me wrong, that’s not me s**tting on Roman Reigns. I think Roman Reigns is a hell of a performer. He really is. I think he’s absolutely incredible. Am I better than him on the mic and in the ring? Sure, but I’m not gonna go out of my way and talk s**t about him because I respect him. I respect what he does. I respect the hard work that goes into putting out that product that is WWE. Again, someday I might work there. I’m also sure if he sees this, he’ll pretend he doesn’t know who I am because that’s what they do over there. When in reality, I know that they’re all watching our stuff. Again, I cannot stress this enough, a huge fan of Roman Reigns. I think he’s great. Would love to work with him one day.”
MJF being MJF
It feels like MJF went slightly out of character here, giving some respect to Roman Reigns. It also suggests that he wants a match in the future. MJF is currently considered one of the pillars of AEW, but it’s possible that MJF might not want to burn bridges on the other side. With him being so young, it’s very likely that WWE may be still on the cards in the future.
