MJF, one of AEW’s most captivating personalities, has been noticeably absent from television screens and live events as of late, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his return. The disappointment was palpable when MJF pulled out of a scheduled appearance at the Lexington Toy & Comic Con in Kentucky, leaving organizers scrambling to find a replacement.

According to reports from Fightful Select, MJF’s absence from the event lineup came unexpectedly, prompting organizers to enlist Swerve Strickland as a replacement. While fans appreciated the opportunity to meet other wrestling stars, the absence of “The Salt of the Earth” left a noticeable void.

The reason behind MJF’s withdrawal remains unclear, adding to the mystery surrounding his absence from AEW programming. His last in-ring appearance occurred at the AEW Worlds End pay-per-view on December 30, 2023, where he faced Samoa Joe in a gripping battle for the AEW World Title. Despite a valiant effort, MJF fell short, with Samoa Joe emerging victorious.

The match’s aftermath saw the shocking revelation of Adam Cole as The Devil, signaling a significant shift in alliances within AEW. Since then, MJF has remained conspicuously absent, fueling speculation about his next move and when fans can expect his much-anticipated return to AEW television.
