Cody Rhodes comments on MJF potentially joining WWE.
MJF has made it no secret that his contract with AEW expires at the start of 2024 and there will be a bidding war for his services. He's said that he will go where the money goes.
Cody Rhodes shocked the wrestling world when he left AEW at the start of 2022 and returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38.
When asked by Ariel Helwani of BT Sport how he thinks MJF would fare in WWE, Cody said, "I think he could be a big star anywhere. He has all the tools because he's so young. He has all the tools to develop. You're not seeing his final form yet. His final form is probably ten years from now. That's who he is. That all depends on if he sticks to the good side of this and he doesn't lose his head and his ego doesn't get too big, I'm talking about the man, not the character, and he still has a passion. Sometimes, your passion can wane. He's one of the most passionate people I've ever met. If he keeps the passion, sure. Adjustments wise to come here, he's already doing it. He's put on some muscle. If you're going to develop and put on muscle, you have to here. If you don't, you're standing across from Drew McIntyre, and you're going to look like a clown because that guy is a monster. You have to. Sometimes it's in the presentation. It's okay if you have a little heel in your boot, you know what I'm saying? You have to do all those things and that might be one thing he'd have to work on a little bit, is to make sure he's not considered small. I don't think he's small. If that happens for him, great. I don't know if it would."
When asked if he would like to see MJF in WWE, Cody replied, "If it makes him happy, I want him to be happy. My career is my thing, I have a nice team of people around me, but it's mine. One thing I've noticed about him, his family is very involved in what he does. I think he's trying, as a young man, is becoming the patriarch of that. When that's the case, you have to take care of all your people and do right by them. If it makes him happy to be there, great. If it makes him happy to be here, he just needs to be happy."
MJF is the reigning AEW World Champion.
Cody Rhodes will try to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion at WrestleMania 39 when he faces Roman Reigns in the main event of night two. Fans can check out the lineup for the show by clicking here.
