MJF Blasts Brainwashed Ex-WWE Employee

MJF has lashed out at an “ignorant” former WWE employee after they took issue with his comments on AEW Dynamite.

MJF took to the ring on the February 5 edition of Dynamite with some harsh words for Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett had turned down MJF’s advances to help him win the AEW World Title in the final year of his in-ring career before the WWE Hall of Famer lost decisively to Claudio Castagnoli.

MJF was soon interrupted by Max Caster who was being stalked by Adam Page. Page soon made his way to the ring leading to Caster running off. Page had a brief staredown with MJF again before continuing after Caster.

As MJF looked to continue his diatribe, Dustin Rhodes entered the scene. Rhodes was furious at MJF talking about Owen Hart, sobriety, and people’s wives. Rhodes tore into MJF before he called for a time out. The Salt of the Earth responded noting that it took 37 years for Rhodes to escape his father’s shadow and now he’s living in the shadow of his baby brother.

MJF Has No Time For Criticism

That baby brother is, of course, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Former WWE referee and frequent anti-AEW critic Jimmy Korderas took to social media to blast MJF for referencing the WWE star:

Great job MJF of reminding your audience about the man who is on top in the other company!

But MJF wasn’t going to let that slide and offered his own rebuttal to the “brainwashed” and “grifting” former WWE official as he explained clearly that his relationship with Rhodes transcends an imaginary wrestling rivalry:

His brother. My mentor. A guy who helped shape me early on in my career. Your old boss brainwashed you into believing we need to treat the fans like morons and pretend other Wrestling companies don’t exist You dumb ignorant bald grifting f*ck. …respectfully.

That led to Dustin Rhodes laying down a challenge to MJF to face him in his hometown of Austin, Texas on the February 12 edition of Dynamite.
