One rumor that I’m reading is MJF wants Punk and Mox money without signing a new deal or extension. He just wants a raise on his current deal to continue working.

If that’s the truth, MJF can take a flying leap into a ravine. It’s one thing to want a raise WITH an extension or want better booking, but to expect to get a raise in the middle of your current deal that you signed up front is just silly and makes you look greedy. You weren’t blindsided.

Yeah I see that. Like they are willing to give him the money, but as you said with an extension. If he ain’t willing to commit to more time then agreed he doesn’t deserve the money.

If MJF wants to piss his career away, that is his own problem. He is not as special as he thinks and if he thinks disrespecting his AEW contract will help him with Vince McMahon, then he is monumentally stupid.

Vince has no problem taking talent from other organizations, but he has been very strict over the years about fulfilling one's contract.

If this isn't a work. MJF has just destroyed his career.

The biggest thing for me is if this is legit and not a work and not sure why it would be a work, Wardlow is just sitting there reading these reports 24 hours before he was going to have the biggest moment of his career and he’s just now been robbed of the excitement going into the show tomorrow and of his rub that was coming.

Wardlow did nothing to have that all taken for him. He worked hard on this angle and helped MJF for over a year when it was all about advancing his career. That’s just unbelievably selfish on the part of MJF and it’s awful.

Say what you want to about Sasha and Naomi, but they walked out on a random Raw 6-woman match not a months long built to PPV match to elevate someone.

I’d even argue it’s been at least a year, close to maybe year half build. But yeah, like dude has to be furious if this shit is legit. If you wanna take your ball and walk, then at least do this match, put Wardlow over and then you can do whatever. Let the man get the payoff he’s worked for.

I don't care if it is a work or not. My only point is that I have followed Vince McMahon for the majority of my life and I know what values he respects. If this is a true thing in which MJF is fighting his contract, he is obviously not a student of professional wrestling. Denying your contract will not get Vince's respect and will, in fact, turn him against you.

While it's completely correct that that climax of a moment for Wardlow would be gone... at the end of the day, he would get an even bigger, positive fallout from it, if it actually goes down like this. ...and yes, it does ruin a huge build-up and it will be heckin' disappointing especially for Wardlow.

...if we are talking about a legit problem happening.

It seems that if MJF is legit acting like this, it may be a case of the amount of fame (and probably future stardom sparkles in his eyes) got to his head. I don't know anything about how the AEW contracts look (especially the differences between, for example, Mox & Punk contract against MJFs, but if it actually is a big difference and it's still that 2019 contract MJF signed, I can understand that he wants more from it (Even without an extension, since his contract runs out in over 18 months.), after what he put in and how he became one of AEW's most recognizable guys.
That, of course, doesn't excuse these actions (if, again, they are legit). It's shitty behavior against the Fans, Wardlow, AEW and all other workers on the roster, especially because of the timing. (Although... the timing might be why he's doing it, too.)

All in all I think people should keep their fucking feet still, see what happens on the PPV and afterwards discussions can and probably should be held. Right now this buzz feels like it could end up looking bad in the grand scheme of things, if MJF is showing up for the PPV.

I truly hope this is a work somehow even if it very likely isn't because that's a very selfish and scummy thing to do to fans and coworkers. The guy has been pushed prominently for a couple of years, if he wants more money he has to negotiate a new deal instead of doing shit like this.
