MJF turning down WWE isnt just talk according to Brian Road Dogg James, there were real discussions about bringing the AEW World Champion in, but the timing never worked out. Following his recent exit from WWE as co-lead writer of SmackDown in early March, Road Dogg made his first public appearance during a virtual signing. During the session, he was asked directly whether WWE ever tried to bring MJF into the company. His answer confirmed that talks did happen more than once, but they never reached the finish line. After being asked about WWEs interest in MJF, Road Dogg admitted the idea came up on multiple occasions. He then explained that the reason MJF never ended up in WWE came down to timing and leverage. According to Road Dogg, every time the possibility surfaced, MJF had strong options available to him elsewhere. That statement lines up with MJFs own past comments about turning down WWE interest, reinforcing the idea that he has had significant negotiating power during his rise in AEW. Right now, MJF has plenty on his plate inside AEW. Hes preparing for one of the biggest matches of his current reign, as he gets ready to defend the AEW World Championship against Kenny Omega at the Dynasty pay-per-view scheduled for April 12. With that title defense looming, the spotlight is firmly on what comes next in his career both inside AEW and potentially beyond. Road Doggs comments offer a rare behind-the-scenes look at how close WWE may have come to landing one of AEWs top stars. Even though those deals never materialized, the fact that talks happened more than once shows just how valuable MJF has been viewed across the industry. Do you think MJF will eventually make the jump to WWE someday, or do you see him staying with AEW long-term? Let us know your thoughts and share your feedback in the comments.
