The AEW Champion's Bold Take on Struggling Stars
In a recent interview with the New York Post, AEW World Champion MJF made some intriguing comments about his former colleagues who've made the leap to WWE. But here's where it gets controversial...
MJF, known for his bold and unfiltered opinions, addressed the topic of AEW's 'problem children' and their struggles in WWE. He highlighted how the promotion's recent success is a result of unity and hard work, contrasting it with the past when a divided locker room led to performance issues.
"You know, sometimes problem children need to be shown the door. And in my opinion, some of those who left thought they were advancing, but they were really just treading water or even taking a step back."
The champion's comments come at a time when several AEW stars have indeed found it challenging to make an impact in WWE. Names like Aleister Black, Rusev, and Ricky Saints have struggled to replicate their previous success. And this is the part most people miss: it's not just about the talent, but also about finding the right fit and opportunity.
For instance, Mariah May, now known as Blake Monroe, has recently been the subject of fan criticism due to her involvement in the Speed Title Tournament. Fans argue that WWE isn't utilizing her potential effectively.
However, it's not all doom and gloom. Several stars, like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and Jade Cargill, have thrived after their move, proving that the grass is indeed greener on the other side for some.
So, what's your take on MJF's remarks? Do you think he's right about the 'problem children' finding their way out? Or is there more to the story? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
