MJF's former partner seemingly teases blockbuster AEW arrival 

Maxwell Jacob Friedman, aka MJF, made his resurgence to AEW after a brief hiatus in a phenomenal way to close out 2025. Witnessing his remarkable success recently, his former partner might have seemed to tease his own arrival at the Jacksonville-based promotion.

The aforementioned star, who was once MJF's stablemate, is Hammerstone. The Salt of the Earth and Hammerstone were a part of the Dynasty faction in Major League Wrestling years ago. Moreover, they even had a brief reunion at the MLW Fightland show last year.

On the other hand, Friedman shocked the world by winning the AEW World Championship at the Worlds End 2025 pay-per-view. A social media post then went out analyzing free agents All Elite Wrestling could sign, with Hammerstone being mentioned as a potential ally for The Wolf of Wrestling to protect his title reign. The MLW star took notice and dropped an emoji via his X in response, seemingly teasing joining AEW in the future.
