MJF Takes Aim at New WWE ID Talent After Signee Announcement

MJF, known for his sharp tongue and no-holds-barred persona, remains one of the most talked-about heels in professional wrestling. The AEW star is notorious for stirring the pot, and his latest move targets none other than WWE’s newest independent development signee, Bryce Donovan.

WWE recently launched their WWE ID (Independent Development) program, aimed at expanding their global reach by bringing in top indie talent. Among the new recruits is Bryce Donovan, an indie wrestling standout with nearly a decade of experience under his belt.

Donovan has wrestled for well-known promotions like CZQ, Ring of Honor, and WrestlePro. From 2021 to 2022, he even had a stint in AEW, facing formidable opponents such as Jake Hager, Wheeler Yuta, and The Acclaimed, though he primarily served as enhancement talent, leaving with an 0-5 record.

The ever-provocative MJF took to Instagram to share his thoughts on Donovan’s move to WWE. In true heel fashion, he uploaded a photo of Donovan with the caption, “Be shook,” sending fans into a frenzy. With MJF’s track record of blurring the lines between storyline and reality, his post has sparked discussion about whether there might be more to this jab or if it’s simply him stirring the pot as usual.

Meanwhile, WWE is betting big on their WWE ID program, which is expected to bring in more independent talent in the future. The company’s long-term vision for this developmental program aims to foster new stars and solidify WWE’s reputation for nurturing diverse talent. Whether the program and Donovan himself will meet fan expectations remains to be seen, but MJF’s remark has certainly added intrigue to the newcomer’s journey.

What do you think about MJF’s comment aimed at Bryce Donovan? Could there be potential for cross-promotion tension down the line, or is this just another instance of MJF playing the villain role? Share your thoughts below!
