Tony Khan Says MJF Was Fighting Through Injuries, Thinks His Return Will Be ‘Very Soon’
Tony Khan gives an update on MJF.
MJF lost the AEW World Title to Kenny Omega at AEW Dynamite Beach Break, in a match that surprised many fans as it looked as if the bout would take place at AEW Redemption. Now, Omega will defend the title against Kevin Knight at Redemption, and MJF has not been on television since losing the title.
Speaking on the AEW Redemption media call, Tony Khan gave an update on the former champ.
“We love having him as a part of AEW when he’s healthy and fit to compete. He’s been through a lot of big matches. That’s what’s tremendous about having such a strong roster of wrestlers: being able to not have to pressure them because we want to extend these wrestlers’ careers. In the case of MJF, he’s somebody that I hope is wrestling for decades and decades at a top level. He’s had some major injuries this year that he’s been fighting through, as a credit to him. It speaks highly of MJF. I’m looking forward to his return to AEW when he’s back, which he will be back, very soon, I’m sure. I’m grateful the injuries he sustained are nothing that will keep him out really long-term. I’m glad he’s going to be okay,” he said.
It is unknown when “The Big Hebrew” will return to AEW.
