MJF cut a promo for the crowd at the Total Mortgage Arena Bridgeport, CT, after Dynamite went off the air. The poker chip winner broke character to praise Tony Khan, who was standing next to him inside the ring. Max proclaimed his love for WWE as well.
“This sh*t is not ballet. Every time we get in this ring, we are risking our lives. Do you people understand that? We don’t take that lightly, and what I damn should never take lightly is somebody coming in to my company, dropping their trousers and taking a dump. That sh*t ain’t happening anymore because this is the place, and the only reason it’s here is because of Tony f*cking Khan.
“Without AEW professional wrestling is a monopoly and do not get me wrong, I love WWE, trust me. I love WWE, however, hear me out … your favorite wrestlers don’t get paid properly and don’t eat properly unless Tony Khan makes that alternative.”
This is not the first time MJF has referenced WWE in his promo. The poker chipper winner hinted at jumping ship during his promo battle with William Regal as well. Check out MJF’s latest promo here:
