-- AEW's MJF appeared on the Ariel Helwani Show recently and spoke about the interest he has generated from WWE both presently and in the past though he did not want to comment on if he's recently been approached. MJF also discussed his opinion on the WWE product and says that he has a history with Bruce Prichard. He did reveal that his contract with AEW expires on January 1, 2024 but he won't consider re-signing ahead of that date unless he is offered an "astronomical" amount of money.
"Bruce Prichard and me go way back. When he was in MLW, he was one of the lead producers there and would watch me do promos and, I mean, he was floored by me, absolutely enamored by me. I was the prettiest girl of the ball. I love Bruce. I think he's a hell of a guy and has a hell of a mind. I think he produces incredible television. As far as how I've been reached out to, legally it's not smart for me to answer that question but what I can say emphatically is that there is an absurd amount of interest in me."
-- On previous interest in him from WWE and his thoughts on NXT:
"I believe I was 22 at the time," he said. "I knew there was serious interest in me in WWE but, again, I thought to myself, 'Are they going to let me be me?' That's my biggest thing. I think WWE is doing great. I love everything WWE is doing, I just think we're fresh and we have fresh faces that people haven't seen before. They (NXT) had a make out competition this past Tuesday, gripping television. How can you not like a make out competition?"
