MJF was rumored to be leaving Tony Khan’s promotion this year as his contract reportedly came to an end. However, the wrestler re-signed with AEW, extending his time in the company. The reasons behind why he stayed back are unclear. However, we may have a bit of a hint regarding the same when looking at the alleged salary that The Devil withdraws.

WWE is the leading wrestling promotion in the world, but all wrestling fans are aware by now that Tony Khan often takes the victory home when it comes to bidding wars, as he can offer them more money. So did he offer the AEW star a more lucrative contract than every star that plies their trade in the WWE? Let’s find out.

MJF’s alleged salary eclipses even top stars like Brock Lesnar

It is difficult getting to know the exact salary details that an athlete attains, as they are rather private about the same. Although different sources end up revealing it eventually, it is often not true until there is more than one source pointing out the same thing. MJF’s alleged salary is higher than the top WWE superstars. The Silver-Tongued Devil is expected to withdraw an alleged $15 Million per year from Tony Khan under the contract that he signed. This surpasses the top-paid WWE wrestlers as well, making it hard to believe.

Brock Lesnar was the highest-paid WWE wrestler when he was on the active roster. This reportedly allowed him to withdraw $12 Million each year. Considering the experience and fame that The Beast Incarnate has, it seems like he warranted his pay. Nevertheless, MJF withdrawing $3 Million more than him seems like an unfathomable prospect. But, this seems like the case as per reports. However, we do not have official confirmation about the details of his paycheck, so it’s all speculation for now

The lucrative pay might be one reason why the former AEW World Champion didn’t opt to switch sides. And now, he is back in the promotion in full swing.

MJF recently shocked fans with his secret appearance

Wrestling fans had no idea that MJF would be present at AEW Double or Nothing on the 26th of May. He made his return by interrupting a promo delivery by Adam Cole and attacking him to further the feud between the two. When he arrived at the venue, he didn’t want anyone to notice him beforehand. Consequently, the former champion showed up in a wheelchair, fully covered to keep himself low.

If the fans had noticed him backstage, the surprise would have been spoiled. This is why MJF planned his return in a way that the fans get to keep their original shocking expressions. Nevertheless, we can expect to see the MJF delivering the goods for a prolonged period after he signed a new deal with AEW.

Do you think the alleged salary might be correct for MJF?
