Cody Rhodes weighs in on the possibility of MJF coming to WWE.
Cody Rhodes jumping from AEW to WWE in 2022 opened the minds of fans to the possibility that anyone, even one of the founders of the company, could leave AEW for WWE if the opportunity presented itself. Jade Cargill followed suit in 2023, and given his openness to talk about WWE, fans have wondered if MJF may follow his friend and mentor Cody to WWE at some point.
"I think one day you will see MJF in WWE," Cody said to Peter Rosenberg on the Michael Kay Show. "I'm really proud of him. For those that don't know, MJF was one of my recruits and probably the one I'm most excited about because of potential and personality and overall professionalism. One thing I'm proud of him for doing is, if you notice, he's put on a lot of muscle and he's put it on safely over the last year and a half. When he does make that jump, I don't know when that is, if he makes the jump. If he comes to WWE, you have to stand across from guys like Drew McIntyre, like Omos, Brock Lesnar. I'm not shaming anyone who is not hitting the gym and clanging and banging with the weights, like The Rock would say, but it is part of what we do now. You have to be able to swing a bat with the big boys. Watching him grow physically, it seems like maybe he knows where his future lies. Really, your guess is as good as mine. I never bother him about it because I want to remain the friends we've become today."
MJF is the reigning AEW World Champion and set to defend his title at AEW Worlds End.
Cody is currently feuding with Shinsuke Nakamura on WWE Raw. The two are set to clash in a bull rope match at Madison Square Garden.
