Below are some top AEW news stories of the day, involving Tony Khan and more.
• MJF didn’t hold back in criticizing AEW’s leadership, claiming that the company’s success is due to him, not AEW President Tony Khan.
Speaking on the SI Media Podcast, he stated All Elite Wrestling is growing again because of the “great content” he provides. He then took a direct shot at Khan, calling him a “f**king m*ron” and asserting that fans tune in specifically to see him, particularly in his feud with Hangman Page.
Here’s what the former AEW World Champion said:
“AEW is slowly but surely, I feel, growing all over again because what we’re doing right now is we’re putting undoubtedly great content out, and the great content is me.
It’s got nothing to do with Tony Khan — he’s a f**king m*ron. It’s got everything to do with me. You’re tuning in to see me, right? And I’m back; and I’ve been back; and I’m interesting. And I’ve been interesting.
So we’re on a tear right now, and people are very interested to see me and Hangman go at it.”

• During an interview on the SI Media Podcast, former AEW World Champion MJF opened up about his ADHD issues:
“Hardcore. My ADHD is very, very, very intense, and I find the only time I am able to focus on one thing, and this is no exaggeration, is when I put the scarf on and I go to work. It is the only time the rest of my day I really struggle.
I can’t even explain it. I truly can’t explain it. When I walk through that curtain, I don’t have it anymore, and I don’t know why there’s zero explanation for it because in every other facet of my life, it is an issue.
It made learning close to impossible. It’s funny. It took me a lot longer to learn how to read and write, which is funny when you think about how I’ve made my money via my mouth, but I was a really late bloomer when it came to learning how to speak.
Point blank at all because somebody would be trying to teach me how to speak and I’d be f**king Lala Land thinking about 70 different things at once but for whatever reason. When I walk through that curtain, it’s gone.
It always affected me. I just thought there was something wrong with me, and I was right. It’s a disorder, right, but I do get annoyed when I would be in school and I would hear people be like, ‘Oh, I can’t concentrate I must have ADHD.’ Suck my d**k because because there’s really truly levels to it and people don’t understand like. I really do.
To this day, I struggle with reading comprehension. I struggle I could be in the middle of a sentence with the woman I’m banging and I’m gone and she knows it’s just like ah f**k and then she has to be like you were saying this you were talking about this and I’m like okay yeah back on track.
The first time I noticed it… I mean it was hard to notice it because it was just it’d be like asking somebody when did you notice you had bad eyesight you didn’t notice you had bad eyesight until you took a f**king eye exam and somebody told you hey, ‘this is not how human beings are supposed to be able to see’.
So you know I just remember I would get in trouble all the time in school because they felt that I wasn’t paying attention. No sh*t, or wasn’t able to study. Yeah, for whatever reason, when it comes to professional wrestling, it’s like it just vanishes.”
