The Rise and Fall of AEW's Former Stars: MJF's Take on the WWE Struggles
In a recent interview with the New York Post, AEW World Champion MJF addressed the promotion's past challenges and the fate of its 'problem children.' But here's where it gets controversial: MJF's comments hint at a deeper story behind the success and struggles of AEW's alumni in WWE.
The interview, promoting the upcoming Double or Nothing PPV in Queens, New York, revealed MJF's perspective on the company's recent momentum shift. He attributed it to the unified efforts of the entire promotion, contrasting it with the divided locker room of the past. 'Problem children,' as MJF puts it, have a way of exiting, and some, in his opinion, mistakenly believed their move to WWE was a step forward when it was actually a step sideways or even backward.
AEW, since its inception in 2019, has seen a steady flow of talent between itself and WWE. Names like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Jade Cargill, and Swerve Strickland have thrived, using the move as a springboard for their careers. However, not everyone has found the same success. Aleister Black, Rusev, Ricky Saints, and Mariah May (now Blake Monroe) have struggled to make an impact in their new homes, with fans recently criticizing WWE for putting May in the Speed Title Tournament.
MJF's remarks have sparked debate among fans. While some agree with his assessment, others argue that the grass isn't always greener, and the challenges of adapting to a new promotion are real. It's a complex issue, and MJF's comments add fuel to the fire.
