MJF's former partner confirms backstage visit in AEW

MJF recently joined The Hurt Syndicate faction. While it can't be said if this alliance will help him win gold, AEW fans certainly feel entertained weekly. The Salt of The Earth has had numerous allies in the past, such as Wardlow, FTR, Shawn Spears, and more.

MJF's partners in All Elite Wrestling have been iconic. Interestingly, before signing with the company in 2019, he regularly wrestled and appeared in MLW (Major League Wrestling). There, he was a member of The Dynasty faction with Alexander Hammerstone, Richard Holliday, Aria Blake, Gino Medina, and Grogan. Hammerstone was this group's muscle. He is still under MLW's banner and is one of its biggest stars.

Interestingly, he was spotted backstage at the recent AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view. The 34-year-old confirmed it with a post on X a few hours ago.

"In the month of May alone, I wrestled for GCW, MLW, [and] NWA, [and] got invited backstage at AEW. Oh, yeah! And won a bodybuilding competition. Haters say I’m washed. I’m just getting started," he wrote.

It's hard to say if Hammerstone will become an All Elite Wrestling star in the future. However, if Tony Khan manages to sign him, it will be a brilliant business decision. The 34-year-old is an immaculate in-ring competitor, and his reunion with MJF could be captivating.

In a recent interview with Fightful, former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Hammerstone expressed his desire to have a match against AEW World Tag Team Champion Bobby Lashley. He felt that a storyline between them would be perfect.

"He’s definitely someone I’d love to work with. Obviously, you talk about angles like that that just seem like tailor-made. It’s like the world is just coming together to be like, ‘Here’s this thing you could do!'" he said. [H/T: 411 MANIA]

Given his talent and experience, Alexander Hammerstone is guaranteed to thrive whichever major company he joins. It will be interesting to see if he turns All Elite in the future.
