[Damian Rey 2.0]

I hate when people are badly booked, but at the end of the day you gotta put on the program the boss wants because he signs your checks. Another difference is that they walked out of RAW when they were booked in the main event, whereas MJF showed up to curtain jerk and got absolutely destroyed by Wardlow and written off of TV. He showed up and did his job; they didn't. Also I really want AEW to pay him something and keep him around because I would prefer he stay in AEW where he shines in his role.

I’m more sympathetic to Sasha, who’s been booked poorly for nearly her entire run, from hot shotting short title reigns, to being thrown into shoe horned teams and title runs. Sasha’s WWE run is the drizzling shits compared to what she did in NXT.

MJF meanwhile has been heavily protected, being pinned 4 times since debuting, and the lowest profile mande he’s put over is Wardlow.

I also don’t think they’re comparable. Unless something comes out that says otherwise, it seems MJF is concerned with his money and Sasha is over the booking. MJF doesn’t really have a leg to stand on when it comes to how he’s been handled creatively. He beat CM Punk twice in one night and as it stands holds the world champs only loss. He’s got nothing on that part to complain about.
