MJF Believes Bryan Danielson Will Wrestle In AEW Again: ‘He’s A Sicko’

Posted by admin on April 7th, 2026

Bryan Danielson’s injuries may have put a halt to his pro wrestling career, but his former opponent in AEW, MJF, thinks that his passion for the business will make him wrestle again.

MJF, who has begrundingly praised Danielson in the past, once again spoke glowingly about him, in his appearance on “Games With Names.”

“Bryan Danielson is considered the greatest bell-to-bell professional wrestler of all time by a lot of people. He’s on that Mount Rushmore of that specific — not the overall package, but that specific thing,” he began. “He is one of the greatest technical, like, in-ring technicians of all time. He is a freak athlete. He’s tough as nails and he really put me through it that night. I mean incredible. And again, 42, is the typical age for most top guys in my sport, honestly.”

The AEW World Champion, uncharacteristically, went on to further praise his former rival, comparing his legend to that of Tom Brady. He also did not rule out a potential return to the ring for Danielson.

“That’s like a Tom Brady level. I would say he’s Tom Brady. Like, he’s definitely GOAT status. He’s like soft retired right now, [and] I don’t know if he’ll ever come out of retirement. He’s a sicko, so he probably will because he can never get enough, much like Brady,” added MJF.

While he was full of praise for Danielson, he was not pleased that the former WWE star thought he couldn’t go toe-to-toe with him in the ring for an hour, something he wanted to prove him wrong about in their clash at AEW Revolution. Danielson last wrestled on AEW television in 2024, with his final match coming against Jon Moxley. However, he also made a surprise return to the ring later that year in a dark match on “AEW Collision.” A few months after the match, Danielson clarified that his desire to return to the ring was a “delusion” due to the seriousness of his injuries.

Backstage Concern Grows Over Pat McAfee WWE Involvement

Posted by admin on April 7th, 2026

Concerns are growing backstage in WWE following Pat McAfee’s involvement in the ongoing storyline between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, and the internal reaction is said to be far from positive.

What initially appeared to be a high profile addition to the WrestleMania 42 build has now sparked deeper discussion among talent, especially after reports suggested McAfee’s role may have been influenced at a corporate level tied to Ari Emanuel. That element alone has reportedly raised eyebrows, but the bigger issue lies in how the situation is being perceived internally.

During a Self Made Session on April 6, Self Made Pro shared insight from a WWE talent who was present at the April 3 SmackDown taping. The comments, described as being shared directly and on record, pointed to frustration over how the segment reflects on the roster depending on how it was structured.

“I spoke to a WWE talent who was at that SmackDown TV taping, right? And I’m not going to read their text verbatim, but they did talk to me and they did express the following on record. They essentially told me that if this was a work and WWE was in on it, it buries everything that they as talent do on the show, and it just makes everybody look bad.”

That alone would be a significant concern, but the alternative scenario may be viewed as even worse. If McAfee acted independently and went off script, it creates a different kind of issue regarding control and consistency in storytelling.

“But if this is instead Pat McAfee going into business for himself, that is even worse.”

That uncertainty has reportedly left talent frustrated, as neither outcome reflects well on the company or the locker room. The lack of clarity has only added to the tension, with performers unsure which version of events would be more damaging.

“And what the wrestler told me was, ‘I don’t know which of those two options is worse, McAfee going into business for himself or WWE having Pat McAfee shoot on the product and bury the product.’ The general vibe I got from the talent about this McAfee thing is: this is a mess. This is counterproductive. It doesn’t make a lot of sense. And why would you go in this direction?”

Beyond the immediate storyline, there is also growing concern about what this could signal moving forward. With corporate influence already being discussed behind the scenes, some talent are reportedly questioning whether this moment could set a precedent for future creative decisions, especially if business metrics begin to fluctuate.

“There’s a lot of concern right now about, like, is this setting a precedent for more of this in the future? Is it going to be a thing now where if business isn’t completely gangbusters, selling out all the tickets, is Ari just going to pop in anytime things are sagging behind? Is he just going to pop in and go, ‘All right, Hunter, Clavicular this weekend.’”
