AEW World Champion MJF wasnt cutting a promo or playing a character when he sat down with Ross Tucker he was venting. And when the conversation turned to whether being Jewish adds to the backlash he gets online, MJF didnt dance around it. He went straight at what he sees every day in his mentions. MJF said the level of antisemitism right now is the worst hes seen in his lifetime, especially for Jewish Americans who have nothing to do with decisions made overseas but still end up taking the heat. That frustration, according to MJF, shows up constantly on social media. He said even the most random, non-political posts of his routinely get flooded with comments that have nothing to do with what he shared and everything to do with his religion. MJF explained that the issue isnt disagreement its relevance. If the only reason a global conflict gets dragged into his comment section is because hes Jewish, he says thats not accidental. He pushed the point further by comparing it to someone randomly invoking historical atrocities under an unrelated post, just to make the discomfort obvious. MJF also made it clear he has zero interest in being turned into a political mouthpiece. He said fans dont tune into wrestling or athletes to get geopolitical takes. They tune in to get away from it. The comments werent framed as activism or messaging they were frustration spilling out in real time. For MJF, it wasnt about politics. It was about being singled out for who he is, even when hes just trying to exist online without a target on his back. What do you think about MJF calling out antisemitism and political pile-ons in his comment sections? Is he right that wrestling should stay an escape, or do stars come with unavoidable baggage?
