MJF just added more fuel to the fire surrounding AEW with a cryptic Instagram post that has fans wondering what he’s really trying to say.

The AEW star shared a picture of his cat, but the message he attached is what’s grabbing attention: “It’s vital to listen to criticism. Even bad faith criticism can have a shred of truth. Don’t be ignorant. Evolve.”

There’s no clear indication of who or what MJF was referring to, but the timing is interesting. AEW has been dealing with heavy backlash over the past year, facing criticism over declining viewership, weak storylines, and an overall loss of momentum. One of the more vocal complaints has been the company’s use of Jeff Jarrett, with some fans questioning why he’s being positioned so close to the AEW World Championship picture.

MJF has been directly involved in Jarrett’s storyline, insisting that the veteran won’t win the title without his help. So far, Jarrett has turned him down, but with reports of backstage plans changing, things could take an unexpected turn. Whether MJF’s message was about AEW’s creative struggles, his own role in the company, or something completely unrelated, it’s definitely caught attention at an interesting moment.
