MJF feels bad for Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins was set for a major run in WWE with his latest storyline. He is also the current holder of Money in the Bank. Unfortunately, he injured his knee at Saturday Night's Main Event recently.

While speaking on Busted Open Radio, MJF praised Seth for his contributions to WWE and expressed empathy towards his injury.

"Seth Rollins is a freak of nature. He’s going to go down as one of the greatest faces in the history of that company. The same way I’m going to go down as one of the biggest faces in the history of my company. When you think of these promotions, when you think of WWE, you think Seth. When you think of AEW, you think me. I find him to be extraordinarily talented. I feel horrible about his knee. It sucks," he said.
