It’s only been a few weeks since MJF shocked the company’s fanbase after an explosive promo where he called out Khan and asked to be fired. Some fans have called it AEW’s “pipe-bomb,” and Friedman has been at the center of much speculation. Many are torn about whether the segment was real or a shoot.

During this week’s Writing with Russo, the veteran wrestling writer briefly touched on the MJF situation and mocked the retraction reports about the same.

Russo also highlighted that the TBS mandate is illogical, in his opinion.

Fans will have to wait and see if Friedman makes his return to AEW in the near future.
