What's MJF's current situation? Still under contract but they're not using him, correct?

If you don’t believe the whole thing is a work than yes, pretty much this is it.

I don't believe this was a work, no. In my opinion he was legitimately pissed, threatened to leave, came back at the last second to put over Wardlow as anyone with professional courtesy would have, and now they're working on a new contract with TK.

I don’t know if he re-upped. I think there’s a very good chance he’s lured away in 2024. But I definitely think it’s a work. The pay off has to be right; don’t bring him back and waste him

I don't think they would have let him cut his "shoot" promo that week with all the discovery execs in the building if they hadn't already made up lol that said, I was saying Cody was a work the entire time until he legit left the company so I'm not as confident in myself anymore lmao

The “Fire me, you fucking mark” line was great.

The biggest concern I have is making sure he’s off television the appropriate amount of time.

You don’t want him off TV so long that people start forgetting about him; especially since Christian is kinda doing his thing. But you also don’t want to do what WWE did with Punk and bring him back too soon.

Once Punk and Ambrose have their unification match, that’s when I’d bring MJF back to TV. Have him force himself into the title picture and steal the belt off Punk; sticking it to TK, leaving the dude in charge with nothing he can do.

^^^^ agree with this 100%. Hence why i said Arthur Ash NYC is the day to do it. One week after All Out
