Cody Rhodes, who notably made the jump from AEW to WWE in early-2022, predicted that MJF will one day end up in WWE during a recent interview with Rosenberg Wrestling.
Speaking on the SI Media podcast, MJF noted that he respected Rhodes’ opinion, and criticised fans for ‘s**tting’ on him.
MJF said:
“I saw fans actually s**tting on him (Cody Rhodes) when all he was saying was his opinion (about my future). It’s his opinion. I pray to God I don’t get lambasted online for some of the opinions I’m doing in this interview.
“I just feel like everything’s so radicalized now and hyperbolic now. There’s certain aspects about social media I love.
“I think it brings people of the same like-mindedness together, I think it allows people to find their own communities.
“But what I hate about some of the social media is I find that hate-mongering and fear-mongering is the stuff that gets pushed the most and it’s because of this sensationalist stuff that people start believing in the sensationalized stuff and hyperbolic stuff and I can’t relate to it. I’m a straight shooter. I say it like it is 100 percent of the time.
“Cody Rhodes felt that way. In Cody Rhodes’ mind and opinion, that was his way of putting over a friend, a prodigy, a former co-worker, a former protégé… So, I still talk to Cody to this day.
“He’s a great guy. He’s doing great things over there, I’m doing great things over here.
There has been some speculation that MJF will leave AEW for WWE, with the AEW World Champion teasing a WWE jump numerous times on AEW TV ahead of the ‘bidding war of 2024’.
