On the February 26 episode of AEW Dynamite, MJF opened the show with a pre-taped promo, criticizing fans and emphasizing his self-centered focus. The promo included footage of MJF undergoing laser removal of his AEW tattoo.
Later in the night, after Adam Page defeated Aaron Solo, MJF confronted Page and revealed that he had attacked Christopher Daniels backstage.
MJF originally got the AEW tattoo to commemorate his return to the company at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in 2024. His contract situation had been a central part of AEW storylines, often referred to as the \"bidding war of 2024.\" This angle blended real-life contract negotiations with kayfabe, as MJF frequently teased the possibility of leaving AEW for a more lucrative offer, primarily from WWE.
By playing up this uncertainty, MJF reinforced his heel persona—portraying himself as someone driven by money and self-interest. He routinely taunted fans and fellow wrestlers with the idea of departing AEW, further blurring the lines between fiction and reality. His contract was indeed set to expire in 2024, adding genuine intrigue to his storyline and keeping fans speculating about his next move.
MJF vs. Hangman Page in a singles match has been booked for AEW Revolution.
