AEW’s MJF Addresses Tama Tonga’s MFT Logo Merch During SmackDown’s Bloodline Segment

There’s no way MJF can remain silent for long if any issue arises in his sphere. The widely known controversial AEW wrestler has been at the top of his game since making a blockbuster return during AEW Double or Nothing. It was an emotional comeback for The Devil as he took a lengthy time off following the tragic title loss to Samoa Joe last year in December. However, amidst the wave of hope surrounding the 28-year-old to bring more business to Khan’s promotion with his star presence and bolstered performances, a logo font of a new WWE star with that of the AEW star made wrestling fans lash out at the finding.

The AEW wrestler has finally addressed Tama Tonga’s MFT logo’s unfathomable resemblance to that of his. And the former AEW World champion wasn’t happy, to say the least.

MJF wards off fans about ‘MFT’ logo controversy

If you are a seasoned wrestling follower, you can’t deny the fact that where MJF goes, controversy follows. The former world champion’s outspoken aura, villainous antics, and over-the-top attitude oftentimes placed him at the center stage of any dispute, garnering a heavy deal of negative publicity. From chiming into a ‘Roll of quarters’ controversy on AEW Dynamite back in October 2023 to rubbing the fans in the wrong way during live matches, the Salt of the Earth has lived through it all.

That said, it seems there’s a change in tenor in the ALL Elite Wrestling sensation as he doesn’t like to fan the flames of the recent logo controversy with Bloodline star Tama Tonga anymore.

Many fans were flabbergasted by the t-shirt that was worn by Tama Tonga on this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, all because it displayed a very similar font to that of MJF’s AEW merchandise. As people continued making rounds with it, MJF himself came up to shut them up. As a pointed tweet, Maxwell Jacob Friedman wrote, ”Stop sending me photos of the shirt. We get it.”

Moving ahead, it seems that Tony Khan has no time to concentrate on WWE’s antics concerning MJF as he looks to bolster the future of his promotion via MJF.

Tony Khan has high hopes for MJF’s AEW future

Tony Khan has not been on the greener side of the viewership ratings. Although Khan issued a series of exploring measures to keep up with the changing viewership trend and demands in the global markets, it has often failed. Be it Mercedes Mone’s lackluster debut on the Big Business PPV even after a lot of hype or the consistent drop in the Dynamite viewership, fans can clearly see the Jacksonville-based promotion falling apart. That said, the Boss still has huge hope for a better future, with MJF being the greatest factor in it.

As MJF is currently gearing up to complete the first pay-per-view since his return at Forbidden Door this Sunday, Khan dubbed him as the biggest attraction. During the pre-event call, the AEW boss also noted launching MJF will be huge for fans at UPS Arena. Nevertheless, he will be hoping that his star talent’s luster isn’t taken away by the resemblance to Tama Tonga’s logo. What’s your take on MJF taking a shot at fans regarding Tama Tonga’s MFT logo?
