00:00 MJF lost his AEW World Championship to Samoa Joe at World's End on December 30th and was deleted

00:08 from the company's public facing talent roster the following day. But don't take this as a sign

00:13 he is on his way out of the promotion. PW Insider's Mike Johnson reports that his outlet had spoken to

00:20 someone within AEW and they believed MJF was legitimately leaving AEW. Instead, they think

00:26 this is a storyline playing into the long-teased bidding war of 2024, which has always been

00:31 predicated on the idea that MJF's AEW contract expires earlier this year. Following World's End

00:36 where Samoa Joe dethroned MJF, Fightful Select reported that the former world champion was

00:41 expected to take time off from television following the defeat. Despite working through

00:45 several injuries, the 27-year-old has been adamant about seeing his world title reign through.

00:50 Although MJF has never confirmed an AEW contract extension, Fightful states most people within AEW

00:56 believed he resigned well over a year ago.
