Things are heating up in the AEW front as big names are coming off from the company. If the departure of CM Punk wasn’t a blow big enough, making things worse, MJF may be headed down the exact same path as per the latest developments. After his defeat to Samoa Joe with the involvement of the Devil and his henchmen which was later revealed to be Adam Cole, MJF’s name has been taken off the roster.
So what exactly is cooking out on that front? Well, as per murmurs, MJF wasn’t particularly happy with the development of his career arc. Even though this is not a concrete statement and are just rumours off him being trying to throw the world into surprise, yet, when a rumours blows, a lot happen.
With MJF’s name taken off the AEW roster, the most obvious supposition is that of whether he will be joining the rival company like CM Punk and if that happens, you can expect the WWE fans to react and the entire roof will be coming off. With WrestleMania around the corner, that can be a perfect opportunity for WWE to unload their latest beast.
Here is what Twitter had to say about MJF being removed from AEW’s roster
Fans weren’t happy with this development either because they believe that MJF’s departure will be nothing but a shame for the company, underlining the woes of the company and how they are mismanaging the star, testifying to the managerial crisis of the industry.
A few said that MJF could have been the poster-boy of AEW like John Cena emerged for WWE and continued the same routine for 16 years but if the rumours of MJF being a free agent after a rift with the company is proving to be true, then they will have to find another big name that can continue the company’s legacy. Here is what Twitter had to say about this.
The biggest plot twist to come out of The Devil story is that it wasn't about the title. The goal was to literally destroy MJF's life. Whoa!

I suggested this before All In, and it's more relevant now than ever:
AdvertisementMJF is going to turn heel and be the most heinous heel imaginable, because he showed vulnerability and kindness to ONE person and look what happened, he's going full villain to never feel that pain again https://t.co/LT1mcc7koI
