MJF has confirmed that he considered signing with WWE.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, MJF stated:

“Of course there was. Am I going to get into the weeds? No. At this point in time, this move (staying with AEW) made the most sense for me. I’m making a ton of f*cking money. As far as when the contract ends, that’s nobody’s business but my own.”

Of course, MJF eventually returned to AEW, yet the possibility of MJF in WWE would have been extremely exciting.

On a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T spoke about MJF potentially signing with WWE, and this is what the WWE Legend had to say:

“Of course I would have liked to have seen him in the WWE ring. And that’s not something that won’t happen perhaps in the future, one day. This kid is still young, but him making that decision [to stay with AEW] for him and his family, you can’t do anything but respect that. That’s the only thing you can do.”

“This is his life and his career. That’s the only thing you could do is respect that and wish him luck on anything that he does, more than anything. For me, MJF, just keep doing your thing, man. Right now, he’s hot. I just want to see exactly how far that kid goes in this business, because he’s got a hell of a lot of potential.”
