MJF is saddened by the state of the WWE roster.
The Salt of the Earth became the AEW champion again when he took the belt off Samoa Joe at the Worlds End PPV last month. He also joined an exclusive list of talents who have won a prominent world title twice in the industry before turning 30, and the first to do so in Tony Khan's promotion.

The Long Island native used this recent success to take a shot at WWE during his interview with Justin Barrasso of Undisputed. He didn't name the company but said that there is a big promotion that loves to talk about young talent, but not feature them prominently:
Here’s what saddens me. There is the big promotion that loves to talk about how much they want to cultivate their young talent, but everyone on the top of their card is not young.
MJF also discussed his recent title defence against Alec Price at a Limitless Wrestling show. After retaining the world title, the 29-year-old offered AEW deals to both Prince, and his associate Jordan Oliver, who had accompanied the challenger to the ring.
Friedman claimed that cultivating the new generation of professional wrestling is a responsibility he doesn't take lightly. The former International Champion praised both Prince and Oliver, saying that they're extremely talented and they have what it takes to make it big in wrestling.
