MJF Says Fans Have to Sell The Soul of Their New Born for WWE Tickets

WWE has been unapologetic about raising ticket prices — but now MJF is jumping into the conversation, and he’s not holding back.

Over the past year, WWE President Nick Khan has defended significant price increases for RAW, SmackDown, and Premium Live Events, explaining that reduced touring and increased demand have allowed the company to raise prices. Reports show average North American TV ticket prices have jumped roughly 60% from 2024 to 2025. But MJF isn’t a fan of the prices at all.

While speaking to ABC7 on March 2, 2026, to promote his appearance on AEW Dynamite in El Paso, the AEW World Champion made it clear he plans to show up — especially if the money’s right. He teased that fans might even see him defend gold.

“You pay me the big bucks, I’m coming. There is a possibility I might be wrestling on that show — there might be a title defense in El Paso.”

After hyping his own appearance, MJF shifted gears and directly compared AEW’s pricing with WWE’s insane ticket prices. Framing AEW as the more affordable option, he delivered a very on-brand shot at WWE.

“Unlike WWE, you don’t have to sell the soul of your firstborn to buy a ticket. The prices are normal. You go to AEWtix.com or Ticketmaster.com. We don’t discriminate against poors.”

With WrestleMania 42 approaching and WWE doubling down on its high-demand model, MJF’s timing is hard to ignore. Whether it’s classic heel heat or a calculated PR swing, the AEW star clearly sees an opportunity to tap into fan frustration.

So is MJF just stirring the pot like he always does — or is he saying what some fans are already thinking? Let us know your take.
