Lee South Adam Cole MJF Segment Las Vegas, NV AEW Double or Nothing 2024 May 26, 2024
After several months on the shelf healing up from injuries, MJF returned to All Elite Wrestling at AEW Double or Nothing 2024, sporting a jacket that immediately gave fans vibes of Triple H’s return in 2002.
When speaking to Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, MJF clarified that those conspiracy theories were indeed true. He said,
“The jean jacket was over what I feel is my leather jacket, but that jean jacket was certainly an homage to a return that meant something to me when I was a kid in Madison Square Garden. I’m sure people can connect the dots. Outside of that, the video of me walking through one of my palatial estates in the most magical place on earth–Long Island, New York–looking at that trophy room, it allows people to remember all the moments I created in a very short period of time. The dog collar match. The epic promos with CM Punk. The Iron Man match with Bryan Danielson. The promo with William Regal. The Dynamite Diamond Ring and all the wins that came with that. Dinner Debonair. My pipe bomb in LA. Lashing and whipping Cody. Kicking Cody in the dick after I threw in the towel and ruined an opportunity for him to become world champion in my promotion. Me putting Wardlow through the paces.
“This is just a fact–I’ve created some of the greatest moments in the history of the business, and I’ve only been on national television for an extraordinarily short period of time. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again because it’s true–I’m 28 years old and I’ve already had a Hall of Fame career. There’s nobody you can compare or contrast me to, there’s never been anyone like me before.”
In this interview, MJF also spoke more on Adam Cole and the devil gimmick, weighing the possibility of jumping over to WWE instead of re-signing with AEW, Cody Rhodes being a mentor and more.
