MJF continues to make the media rounds to promote the big Blood & Guts showdown between his faction, The Pinnacle, and the Chris Jericho-led Inner Circle on tonight's special edition of AEW Dynamite on TNT.
Ahead of the high-profile bout, Maxwell Jacob Friedman spoke with Steel Chair Magazine for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, MJF spoke about how he doesn't plan on leaving AEW but he will listen to other offers when his current contract with the company expires, the possibility of adding a new member to The Pinnacle and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On how he doesn't plan on leaving AEW but he will listen to other offers when his current contract expires: "I’d say I’d be near the end of my contract. I would be the AEW World Champion, I would still be a part of the greatest faction in professional wrestling known as The Pinnacle, all of my brothers in arms would also have gold and then, at that point, the highest bidder, baby. Me and my boys, we’re willing to go wherever the money’s at, it’s that simple. Don’t get me wrong, AEW runs deep in me, I don’t want to leave, but I am a businessman at the end of the day, and I can’t help myself if somebody’s got an offer for me, I’m going to listen to it."
On the possibility of adding another member to The Pinnacle: "Right now, our main objective is to get the Inner Circle out of the way, and they do not have a woman in their ranks, so right now, I’m not too concerned with that. Am I saying that, down the line, it might not, where it may make sense to add a woman into our group to make sure that we, The Pinnacle, have every single piece of platinum in AEW? I wouldn’t lie to you and tell you that’s not in the cards because it very well might be, but right now, that’s not our focus but absolutely, once we all win gold who’s to say we wouldn’t want a crusade for more by finding a woman that we feel deemed fit enough to join The Pinnacle."
On Dr. Britt Baker: "I hear about Britt a lot, people are saying they wanted to be in The Pinnacle and, like I said, I’m a very affluent man, I am open to conversations if it makes sense for me economically, but on top of that, I will say this about Brittany, she is clearly not just the face of the women’s division in AEW, but at this point, I think it’s fair to say she’s the face of women’s wrestling as a whole, just like I feel it’s fair to say that I’m the face of men’s professional wrestling as a whole. I get why people keep bringing this up, it makes complete sense."
