MJF: 'Pretty obvious' Aleister Black was the 'biggest offender' trying to use AEW to get back into WWE
Former AEW champ MJF certainly isn’t one to sugarcoat.
MJF isn’t one to sugarcoat. In the wake of some more recent AEW departures, he believes the company’s locker room is in the best place it’s ever been. Wrestlers have gone back and forth between AEW and WWE’s rosters since the former’s creation in 2019.
Some have even switched back and forth multiple times, like Andrade El Idolo and Aleister Black. However, the latter — known as Malakai Black in AEW — has failed to find his footing in either company, falling victim to WWE’s latest roster purge . Speaking in-studio on Tuesday’s edition of “The Ariel Helwani Show,” MJF said that Black was the “biggest offender,” regarding names who simply wanted to “use” AEW rather than help it thrive.
"I think it's pretty obvious that that's Malakai Black,” MJF told Uncrowned ahead of Sunday’s AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view. “But I don't know 'the guy' on a personal level. Do I think he's a bad guy?
No. Do I think he was a mark for wanting to have his whole 'Mania moment? Yeah, and there were a couple of guys like that, and they got weeded out.
