MJFs time away from AEW isnt lasting much longer.
According to from Fightful Select, the former AEW World Champion is expected to return sooner than later now that filming for Violent Night 2 is nearly complete.
Sources close to the situation revealed that while a specific date hasnt been nailed down, MJF is factored into AEWs creative plans by December. His role and frequency of appearances, however, remain unclear for now.
MJF has spent the last year deep in Hollywood, taking on acting roles in Violent Night 2, Happy Gilmore 2, and The Iron Claw. His commitment to film even led him to step away from AEW entirely as production for Violent Night 2 picked up in Winnipeg.
It was reported that filming was set to wrap soon. Now, with production nearly finished, MJFs return to wrestling is within sight. The report noted that MJF will be returning from Hollywood (or Winnipeg) sooner than later.
While wrestling fans have missed his presence, MJF has reportedly taken well to the acting life. Hes landed roles in Violent Night 2, Happy Gilmore 2 and The Iron Claw. Hes expected to continue acting while balancing his wrestling schedule, Fightful added.
Back in September, MJF dropped the CMLL World Heavyweight Title to Mistico and took a hard loss to Mark Briscoe in AEW. After that match, he admitted he wasnt ready to return until he could look in the mirror and no longer see a fraud. His time away has been a mix of personal reinvention and professional evolution.
MJF is currently scheduled for WrestleCade in just over two weeks, further signaling his return to public appearances. Whether AEW pulls the trigger on a December comeback or surprises fans even sooner remains to be seen.
Do you think MJF should jump right back into the main event sceneor take a different path after his Hollywood stint? Let us know in the comments.
