Tony Khan & MJF Involved In Argument Over Recent Interview

MJF does what he pleases and that usually involves whatever benefits him the most. He certainly earned lot of headlines when he spoke candidly to Ariel Helwani about his contract situation and that caused a bit of a problem in the AEW offices.

According to a report from Fightful Tony Khan took issue with MJF’s interview. The two had a pretty heated discussion about the subject recently and they apparently left the conversation frustrated.

There was an issue with MJF not setting up the Helwani interview through AEW’s PR team. It’s unclear exactly how far reaching the issue is at this time.

Tony Khan and MJF had a discussion this past weekend that was said to have left both men frustrated. The conversation stemmed from MJF’s interview with Ariel Helwani, where the two spoke for over an hour, notably about his contract status with AEW. MJF’s deal runs until 2024, which looks to be a major year for pro wrestling free agency.

We’re told that the contract status of MJF is what has left the young star frustrated of late, but that Tony Khan took issue with the interview being set up without notifying AEW’s PR team of such. Those that we spoke to didn’t think there would have been an issue with the subject matter or the interview in general if that were the case.

We will continue monitoring this situation here at Ringside News. MJF could have a lot of interest in 2024 when his AEW contract runs out. The company is likely to try anything to keep him, but it would certainly help to stay on Tony Khan’s good side in the process.
