Ever since he dropped the AEW World Championship to Samoa Joe at AEW Worlds End, MJF has been out of sight, out of mind, reportedly healing up from several injuries and potentially weighing his options, if one believes his contract with AEW did expire at the end of 2024. Now, months after Samoa Joe and Adam Cole left him at his lowest point, MJF has resurfaced to call out someone completely unexpected.What an artistic convergence of emotions 👏🏾👏🏾
I’d like to buy this from you, my team will be in touch. I know a special mom who I’m going to gift this to…. #MamaRhodes

MJF’s problem didn’t appear to be with the painting itself, but rather that the painting was done by his former fiancee, Natalie Rosenblum, leading to MJF accusing Rock of trying to “cop art” from her. He then closed the tweet by admitting he was a fan of The Rock, while imploring “Dewey” to leave him alone. At this time, The Rock hasn’t responded to MJF’s tweet.

First you steal my glorious idea to lash Cody.

Now you try to cop art from my ex.

I’m a fan.

But please Leave me be, Dewey. https://t.co/b8XHLmDe2w

If nothing else, MJF’s brief return to social media is evidence that the long-time AEW star is starting to emerge from his hiatus. Though he has still yet to show up backstage at an AEW event since Worlds End, MJF was reportedly seen in Boston shortly after “AEW Dynamite: Big Business” last month, where he is said to have met with AEW officials. Even still, it remains unknown when fans will see MJF in a wrestling ring again.
