MJF never wrestled for WWE, but he did make an appearance as a security guard. At NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II, MJF was used as an extra during Samoa Joe's entrance for his NXT Championship bout against Shinsuke Nakamura.
During Joe's entrance, MJF tried to cut in front of Joe and was quickly shoved into the wall.
On Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, MJF brought the moment full circle when he shoved a member of Team MJF into the wall as he tried to cut in front of the number one contender for the AEW World Title.

MJF could have used that security guard later in the night when Jon Moxley attacked him in the ring. Instead, the guard was still plastered to the wall and was unable to help MJF as Moxley laid him out with a Paradigm Shift.
MJF didn't take kindly to the Paradigm Shift, starting a petition to ban the move.
