Former AEW World Champion MJF has fired back at WWE Superstar Seth Rollins after Rollins took a brutal shot at AEW. Rollins, set to compete on the upcoming episode of WWE RAW, made headlines with his bold comments about AEW.
On WWE RAW, Rollins will face Finn Balor in a men’s Elimination Chamber qualifier match, aiming to secure his spot in the main event of WrestleMania 41. However, ahead of his match, Rollins stirred controversy with his remarks about AEW.
The NBA world recently buzzed over the Dallas Mavericks trading Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. During an appearance on SiriusXM Sports, Rollins was asked how a similar AEW-WWE trade might look. Instead of entertaining the idea, he took a direct shot at All Elite Wrestling.
He stated, “You’ll make some headlines with this one. I don’t think there is anybody in AEW that’s on that level [laughs]. You’re probably looking at it, if you’re looking at a LeBron, that’s like a John Cena-level guy. I’d be looking at John Cena for an MJF, maybe. That’d be the deal. Luka would be MJF. That’s the level. That’s how crazy that is.” [H/T: Fightful]
With Rollins claiming that nobody in AEW is on WWE’s level, former AEW World Champion MJF has now responded to his statement.
How did MJF respond to Seth Rollins’ take on AEW?
AEW star MJF took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to react to former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins’ statement. Seemingly confused by the comparison, MJF wrote, “Who the hell is Luka Dončić? Indie guy?”
The idea of a talent trade between WWE and AEW is exciting. However, the ongoing rivalry between the two promotions makes it unlikely. WWE recently partnered with TNA Wrestling, allowing talent from both companies to appear on each other’s shows.
This crossover has already begun, with Cora Jade and WWE NXT Tag Team Champion Frazer making appearances in TNA Wrestling.
