Twitter erupts with speculation on top AEW star's reaction to popular WWE faction's segment on SmackDown

MJF apparently has no hesitation in putting down AEW in comparison to WWE, as he seemingly referenced Roman Reigns this week.

The Salt of the Earth returned to his heel persona after returning to the All Out pay-per-view. By winning the Casino Ladder match, MJF has already secured a chance to compete for the AEW World Championship.

On this week's Dynamite, MJF mentioned the World Title as a negotiating tool for the "2024 bidding war". The two major pro wrestling franchises are anticipated to compete to sign Maxwell because his contract is set to expire in two years.

The Long Island native recently took to Twitter to post a subtle reference to the faction led by Roman Reigns, The Bloodline. The faction makes use of a raised finger to signify their dominance in the business.

This immediately got the pro wrestling world talking about the Salt of the Earth potentially jumping ship later on.

It remains to be seen if the Salt of the Earth will make good on his threats to join WWE in the future.

MJF also posted a photo with a WWE personality recently

The Long Island native also alluded to switching his allegiance from AEW earlier this week, when he posted a not-so-subtle photo with Peter Rosenberg.

Rosenberg is a regular WWE writer, a former 24/7 Champion and a notable name in sports and pop culture.

As of now, fans are unsure whether this is a classic MJF kayfabe move, or if he is actually planning to leave AEW.

Do you think MJF will leave Tony Khan's Promotion in 2024? Sound off in the comments below!

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.

Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
