Jim Ross comments on the AEW return of MJF.
MJF returned to AEW at AEW Double or Nothing, his first appearance since AEW Worlds End when he lost the AEW World Title to Samoa Joe. In his return promo, MJF said he's not "fucking leaving" AEW.
Speaking on Grilling JR, Ross commented on MJF's return.
“He’s a player, he’s a main player. There’s no doubt about it, and he keeps people on their toes. He’s got a great mind for wrestling and the drama, the dramatics and so forth. Talented guy, and apparently, I don’t know this to be a fact, but it seemed like he was kind of fishing to see if he was gonna get an offer from WWE, and apparently that didn’t materialize, and maybe it wasn’t time. I don’t know. But you can’t overstate his value. He’s a very valuable asset to what is going on. Smart guy. In some ways, he reminds me of Paul Heyman in the younger days. Really, really smart. Very perceptive, understands what’s going on, and he’s an asset. Young, he’s got that youth, which you can’t replace. So I’m excited that he’s back, and I guess he’s healthy. He seems to be healthy.
"He’s a valuable asset. It’s gonna be interesting to see what direction he goes and how far he goes and all that. He’s never boring. He’s always got something going on, and that’s why I think he’s got a little Paul Heyman in him. He understands the game, and it is a game, and he’s learned how to play the game very well."
MJF will make his in-ring return on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite when he faces RUSH.
