JBL’s Meeting with MJF

JBL recalled meeting MJF in England and being impressed by his personality. He mentioned MJF’s curiosity, particularly about legendary heel wrestler Roddy Piper.

“I got to meet MJF over in England. Blown away by him,” JBL said. “He was asking stuff about Roddy Piper and being a heel. We shared a car ride together… Really smart, young guy. I’m a big fan of him, personally.”

MJF’s absence from AEW programming has left fans eager for his return. While a date hasn’t been announced, it’s clear MJF has earned respect from wrestling legends like JBL.
