EXCLUSIVE: MJF Wants AEW Match With Shane McMahon
MJF revealed he wants to face Shane McMahon in AEW before going on a tangent about Tony Khan having "Scott Steiner-esque biceps"
Aug 12, 2024
Should Shane McMahon appear in All Elite Wrestling, one former AEW World Champion who is open to facing the former WWE executive is MJF. Friedman admitted exclusively to Cultaholic Wrestling's Jack King, however, that a meeting in the squared circle with Shane might make him feel bad for the first time in the AEW American Champion's career.
"I think it would be bad for Shane McMahon's mental health to get in a ring with me, on a microphone or bell to bell. So my answer is yes because I would have the time of my f*cking life. But my answer, also just because I'm so salt of the earth, is I think for the first time in my career I'd feel bad," MJF stated.
Following weeks of rumours, Tony Khan and Shane McMahon met at a private airport in Arlington, Texas on Monday, July 29 in a 'getting to know you' exchange. They did reportedly discuss 'possibilities moving forward' too and both Tony Khan and Shane McMahon have since commented on the meeting.
A photo of the meeting between Shane McMahon and Tony Khan leaked online and MJF revealed his own reaction before claiming Tony Khan has "Scott Steiner-esque biceps."
"He's a f*cking mark. I mean, yeah. That was my reaction. I don't respect either of them. I respect the fact that I am the highest-paid athlete in my company. Rightfully so. Outside of that and the money stuff, I don't know man," Friedman added.
"Although I will say, freakishly large biceps on such a small man. If you ever meet him in person, it's weird. He's got these Scott Steiner-esque biceps. I don't know if he's just sitting at home exclusively doing curls, but this man's arms are weirdly large. That is the only thing I'll give him credit for."
MJF also addressed his AEW backstage confrontation with Britt Baker at Dynamite 250.
