The absence of MJF from AEW television has set tongues wagging within the wrestling community. Ever since his injury at AEW’s Worlds End event, fans have been left in the dark about his condition and future in the ring. Speculation ran rife, with reports hinting at MJF’s need for time off to recuperate, possibly even contemplating shoulder surgery during his hiatus. The prospect of such a procedure loomed large, threatening to sideline the beloved wrestler for an extended period.
However, recent insights into MJF’s comeback timeline have emerged. Despite the specter of surgery, it seems The Salt of The Earth is gearing up for a return to AEW programming within the coming months. Sean Ross Sapp, speaking on Fightful Select’s Q&A podcast, shared his anticipation of MJF’s imminent comeback, offering hope to eager fans.
“I think MJF will be back in a few months,” remarked Sapp.
Interestingly, there’s been no mention from Sapp regarding MJF undergoing further surgery, contrary to various online reports. Nevertheless, MJF’s absence has already triggered significant shifts in AEW’s storytelling and programming, with his eventual return eagerly awaited by fans of the squared circle. In the interim, fans can catch a glimpse of MJF at an upcoming AEW fan event this week, offering a temporary reprieve from his absence.
