AEW‘s MJF shares his thoughts on Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods’ exit from WWE.
During his recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, MJF opened up about The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods potentially joining AEW. The duo recently chose to leave WWE after the promotion reportedly asked them to take significant pay cuts.
MJF believes Woods and Kingston would be incredible additions to the AEW roster. He had high praise for them, calling them incredibly talented individuals who knew their worth well enough to walk away from WWE rather than accept a pay cut.
“Whenever they are legally allowed to come over, I think that those are guys that would be incredible additions to the AEW roster. They’re both crazy talented, they’re both massive stars, and they’re both guys that know their worth, which to me is the most impressive thing,” MJF said.
“No [he wasn’t surprised they left WWE] because if you’re gonna tell guys that they have to take a pay cut, if they know their worth, they’re gonna say no.”
MJF reveals honest thoughts about Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel
Speaking in the same podcast, MJF discussed how Jewish public figures face online hate and antisemitic attacks regardless of their individual political views. He then stated that he doesn’t support Benjamin Netanyahu and revealed that even after he made his stance clear, he receives antisemitic abuse online simply because he is Jewish.
“I’m not in support of what’s going on right now in Israel. I think a lot of stuff that’s going on right now is super inhumane, and I can’t back it, and I personally don’t like Netanyahu, not a fan,” MJF said.
“Even when I say I’m not a fan of Netanyahu, there’s still be people that go, ‘F*king…what the f*ck? That f*cking Jew.’ It’s like, wait, I’m literally.. like, is this not the whatever? You can’t you can’t win,” MJF said.
“I was born American. Last time I checked, I am not in the Israeli government. Last time I checked, I don’t have a relationship with BB Netanyahu. I’m not telling him what to f*cking do. So, it’s just weird,” MJF said.
