MJF will one day be known as a WWE Superstar, at least according to current WWE top star and AEW alum Cody Rhodes.
The reigning AEW World Champion has often teased moving to WWE, though these teases have stopped ever since he became an on-screen babyface. MJF did try out for WWE as part of 2011\'s Tough Enough, and his video application is suspiciously still online on WWE\'s YouTube channel. MJF also appeared as a security guard during a segment with Samoa Joe, which has been referenced as part of their AEW feud.
Cody Rhodes on MJF
Though they are no longer in the same company, Cody Rhodes is keeping a close eye on the career of the AEW World Champion. During an interview with Peter Rosenburg, the American Nightmare was asked about MJF possibly joining WWE.
\"I think one day you will see MJF in WWE. I think, one thing I\'m really proud of him for is, for those who don\'t know, MJF was one of my recruits. Probably the one I\'m the most excited about just because [of] his potential, his personality; his overall professionalism is beaming. One thing I\'m proud of him doing is, if you notice he\'s put on a lot of muscle and he\'s put it on safely over the last year and a half. And when he does make that jump, and I don\'t know when that is, if he makes the jump. But if he comes to WWE he\'ll have to stand across from guys like Drew McIntyre, you have to stand across from guys like Omos. Or, gosh, Brock Lesnar.\
What\'s Next?
While MJF could one day be a WWE Superstar, it isn\'t likely to happen anytime soon. For all his teases of leaving, MJF reportedly signed a new AEW deal that will keep him around for years to come. One WWE source described MJF\'s potential bidding war as \"a completely in his head storyline.\" His next AEW World Championship defense will come on December 30, against Samoa Joe at AEW Worlds End.
Cody Rhodes is currently in the midst of a feud with Shinsuke Nakamura. Rhodes has announced himself for the Men\'s Royal Rumble match and hopes to become the fourth man to win back-to-back Royal Rumble matches.
