WWE has worked hard to cultivate a loyal fanbase for itself. It has faced rivalries with several other pro wrestling companies in the past. AEW undoubtedly stands as the biggest rival of WWE in modern times. Additionally, AEW is the promotion that has seen the most interaction with WWE. A strict contract binds the superstars of both companies. However, the current crop of pro wrestlers from both companies is more liberal in their approach. The latest person to step inside this gray area between the two companies is AEW World Champion, MJF.
In fact, his recent announcement also bodes as an open warning to the WWE and its CEO Nick Khan.

Sports news network ESPN recently released a list of the top 30 wrestlers under 30. The list of superstars that made it to the list includes several names from WWE. Logan Paul had also made it to the esteemed list. However, Paul was dissatisfied with his rank. Apparently, Paul ranked number 10 on the ESPN list.
The dynamic WWE wrestler has given the most spectacular outputs in 2023. He recently defeated Ricochet at the WWE SummerSlam and also entertained the crowd with stellar performances. The AEW Champion MJF attained the top spot in the ESPN list. Moreover, ‘The Salt of the Earth’ contacted Paul for an unexpected unofficial collaboration.
MJF recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to reach out to Logan Paul and expressed his wish to appear on his Impaulsive Podcast. MJF tweeted, “I’m a big fan, and I heard you were very upset with your ranking in the ESPN top 30 under 30.” MJF also said, “Would love to come on Impaulsive and talk more about the list.”
Yo @LoganPaul
I’m a big fan and I heard you were very upset with your ranking in the @espn

The AEW champion also nicked a small pinch on the WWE CEO Nick Khan through his tweet. “Hopefully, your boss and our mutual friend Jolly old Saint Nick will allow it!” said MJF. This tiny infraction, however, echoes as a brutal warning to the WWE CEO.
This, however, was not the end of his tweet. Breaching a further line, MJF also said that he would make a major announcement about AEW on Paul’s podcast.

Logan Paul is a big internet celebrity whose Impaulsive Podcast attracts millions of listeners. This makes it the perfect stage for people to be seen and heard by many. Further in his tweet, MJF said he wanted to announce a big AEW promotion through his podcast. “AEW is about to run the biggest show in the history of the sport on Aug 27th,” wrote MJF.
This announcement, combined with the uncalled shot at Nick Khan, has caused a massive splurge on the internet. No official word has been spoken by either Khan or Paul as of now. However, this would be quite an improbable demand to meet.
