"STOP!" - AEW star MJF makes an urgent plea to fans after real-life incident

MJF recently had to deal with a major incident outside of AEW, and it seems the situation has come to a boil for the Wolf of Wrestling.

The professional wrestling landscape shifted at Worlds End 2025, as AEW closed out the year with a new World Champion, MJF. The Jacksonville-based promotion will now head into the new year at the behest of the Salt of the Earth, who bested former champion Samoa Joe, Hangman Page, and Swerve Strickland in a 4-way bout to reclaim All Elite Wrestling's top prize. While Friedman continues his ascent toward becoming the best ever to enter the squared circle, he recently faced a hiccup in his personal life after his X account was hacked yesterday, with the hacker sharing an obvious financial scam. The Salt of the Earth seemed to regain control of his account shortly after, as he shared a post with his Venmo details, mocking fans who actually believed it was him. However, this post seems to have backfired, compelling MJF to drop a new post and make an urgent plea to his fans.

In his post, MJF revealed that he has received 100k Venmo requests and demanded that fans who are sending them stop spamming immediately.

"We’re at 100k Venmo requests. YOU GUYS THINK THIS IS FUNNY? IM THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE FUCKING WORLD I CANT BE SPAMMED ALL DAY I HAVE IMPORTANT BUISNESS TO ATTEND TO! STOP! IM A WORLD CHAMPION SHOW ME THE RESPECT I DESERVE!," MJF wrote on X

Sam Roberts says MJF should go on a Triple H-like heel run in AEW

In a recent edition of his Notsam Wrestling, wrestling expert Sam Roberts, while discussing MJF's AEW World Title, urged the star to make his heel persona more unlikable, as the one WWE CCO Triple H had during his run with the World Heavyweight Title in the early 2000s.

"I’m hopeful that MJF becomes a real heel, not somebody people are having fun booing. Even at the height of him being his heeliest, when he was champion, people were still having fun booing him. I would love to see MJF go to that feathered-hair, world-champion Triple H era heel, where he’s a real heel," said Roberts

It will be interesting to see what MJF will have to say as he addresses the crowd for the first time as the new World Champion later tonight on Dynamite.
