Self-proclaimed pillar of the company MJF has lashed out at AEW in a now-deleted tweet. It is just the latest of his line-blurring jibes against the company.

'The bidding war of 2024' has been a phrase touted by the Long Islander for almost as long as his tenure with AEW. Although previously thought to be the heel making use of his real-life contract expiry to get heat from tribal fans, reports have emerged that he is in fact in a dispute with the company over his contract.

Further adding fuel to the fire, Friedman himself has hinted that he is leaning into a switch to WWE. While it's unclear if WWE will be interested enough to ignite Friedman's dream of a bidding war, it remains a possibility.

Tony Khan was asked to comment on the issue during today's Double or Nothing media call, to which he said, "wrestling thrives when off-screen conflict carries over on-screen." This provoked a response from the man in question himself on Twitter, as he proclaimed "F*** this place" in a now-deleted tweet.

MJF has alluded to his status within the promotion in recent episodes of Dynamite. However, as he remains in character for the most-part, even in fan interactions and on social media, it is unknown how serious this outburst is.
