MJF is not just telling wrestling fans to log off anymore. Now he’s taking a flamethrower to the “AEW bad” crowd.
MJF took to Twitter and called out what he described as grifters and trolls who keep attacking AEW no matter what the numbers say. According to him, the company is “white hot” and improving in nearly every major metric.
“Astronomically white hot, up in nearly every single conceivable metric. Grifters and trolls that do the ‘AEW bad’ schtick are dying a slow and painful death.”
MJF said more new viewers, fans, and pundits are trying AEW for the first time, and he made sure to sign off like only he would: “As more new viewers fans/pundits are trying out our product for the first time. You’re welcome. -Your champion”
Then he laid out what he called the facts for 2026, claiming AEW has hit its highest company revenue ever, improved attendance year over year, improved pay-per-view buys year over year, and posted major numbers for Revolution, Dynasty, and Double or Nothing.
“2026 Facts- highest ever company revenue. Improved attendance year over year. Improved PPV buy rates year over year. 2nd biggest Revolution attendance and buy rate of all time. #1 Dynasty attendance and buy rate of all time. #1 Double or nothing attendance and buy rate of all time. 2nd largest domestic gate in company history.”
The Salt of the Earth also pointed to AEW’s continued expansion through digital and international initiatives before throwing in one last very MJF-style flex. As for anyone who still wants to argue with him, MJF made it clear he does not care.
“Continued expansion through digital and international initiatives. Best world champion in the industry. 2026 Feelings- I don’t care.”
This comes after MJF recently said online wrestling fans are not the majority and that people need to stop treating Twitter like real life. Now he’s doubling down by saying AEW’s critics can complain all they want, but the numbers tell a different story.
Bottom line, MJF believes AEW is winning, and he is done pretending the loudest people online matter more than the business. The champ says the company is up, the haters are fading, and he’s taking full credit for it.
Do you think MJF is right about AEW’s momentum, or are critics still making fair points? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
