AEW World Champion MJF was inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame this week.
The Salt of the Earth took to Twitter to comment on the commemoration, writing,
“I can’t put into words what today meant to me. With the rampant discrimination and bigotry seen worldwide I proudly say i’m not just a Jew, I’m a human. We should all treat each other as such. Except me…I deserve special treatment because I’m a hall of fame level human.”
MJF will defend the AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe at AEW Worlds End on December 30.

AEW recently filed to trademark the term “AEW: Got The Feeling” relating to entertainment services with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO).
In a recent interview with Adrian Hernandez, Samoa Joe discussed his in-ring future, how long he plans to wrestle, and whether it will be a situation where he will do so until his body can’t hold up anymore.
Joe said, “I’ll probably stop well before then. I’ve been really, really fortunate. When I came off the concussion, I took two years off to really get everything back into order, and in that time too, just in the recovery process, really changed a lot around in my training and changed a lot of things around that have benefited me to a great amount health-wise. I feel good right now. As far as where the train will end, I’ll let it play out a little bit more. But I will say this, I definitely have more than a handful of good years left in me. Beyond that, I’m excited…if we are gonna out, we’re gonna go out with a bang. So it’ll be interesting to see how these next few years play out.”
