MJF throws some serious shade at WWE before AEW Dynamite.

The outspoken champion didn’t hold back, once again living up to his reputation for stirring controversy while promoting AEW ahead of a major televised event.

AEW is set to hold this week’s Dynamite in El Paso, Texas, on March 4. Before the event, MJF spoke with kvia.com, where he made it clear that his visit to El Paso was strictly business.

The AEW World Champion bluntly stated that he was only there because he was getting paid and admitted that he is not a fan of the “Sun City.”

“I’m coming with the AEW world title. You should all be thankful for that. They paid me extra to come this time. Let’s be honest, where you guys live is an absolute dump. You pay me the big bucks, so I’m coming.

There is a possibility I might be wrestling on that show. Who’s to say? There might be a title defense in El Paso. I hate you people but, look, somebody has to pay daddy’s bills.

MJF Takes A Jab At WWE’s Higher Ticket Pricing

MJF then turned his attention toward WWE, taking a pointed jab at the company’s live event pricing. He claimed that AEW fans can purchase tickets for live events at much lower prices, making it easier for the average fan to attend shows without breaking the bank.

“Also, unlike WWE, you don’t have to sell the soul of your first born to buy a ticket. They are normal prices. You go to AEWtix.com or Ticketmaster.com. We don’t discriminate against poors the same way the world champion does.”
