MJF Shuts Down Rumor He’s Taking Time Off After AEW World Title Loss

MJF isn’t going anywhere—despite rumors claiming he was going to take time off to shoot a movie after his loss to Darby Allin.

After Allin defeated MJF in the main event of AEW Dynamite Spring BreakThru on April 15 to capture the AEW World Championship, the conversation quickly shifted from the title change to what’s next for MJF. A rumor began circulating online claiming he was set to take time off to film a movie, with his name allegedly tied to production schedules and call sheets.

"MJF is expected to be filming at least one movie immediately following his loss to Darby Allin on Dynamite tonight. His name has been on schedules and call sheets for months."

But MJF wasted no time responding—and he shut it down in the simplest way possible, as he just said “Nope.” The one-word response directly addressed the rumor that he’d be taking time off for Hollywood commitments, making it clear that there’s no immediate departure in the works.

This comes as fans continue to debate the booking of the match itself, with many criticizing how decisively Allin defeated MJF. While the result marked a major moment for Allin, the fallout has largely centered on whether MJF was protected enough in defeat. Now, with MJF confirming he’s not heading off to Hollywood, the focus is back to what AEW does next—especially with one of its biggest stars still very much in the picture.

Do you think AEW made the right call with how MJF lost the title, or should the finish have been handled differently? How should AEW book MJF now that he won’t take time off? Drop your thoughts below.
