I think TK knew what MJF was going to say. He listens to Cornette’s podcast — he would have known what was coming. But I think they knew MJF was going home (at least for a bit), and maybe counting on heads cooling off and things to be worked out.
There are people saying that MJF, Ethan Page and whoever else is pissed off at AEW forming a stable. Eh. Who cares? It’s still such a weird direction to take with something that was already working.
At some point, TK probably needs to think about AEW’s budget. MJF is eating a lot of money to stay home and not contribute. If Triple H comes up and wants to buy out certain deals for 75c on the dollar or even at full price, it might be advisable that he takes it.
I understand why these companies are reluctant to let people out of their deals though. I don’t like it from the independent contractor’s perspective, but you don’t want Randy Orion to be able to give you two weeks notice. MJF seems like a “special” case though. But will either side set the precedent?
I do wonder if anyone has actually asked for their official release from AEW yet? TK seems extra careful about NDAs and the like.
