In a surprising turn of events, wrestling superstar MJF made a shocking announcement after a rare indie title defense, leaving fans buzzing with excitement! But here's where it gets controversial... Was this a strategic move or a genuine appreciation for indie talent?
Sean Rueter, a seasoned wrestling enthusiast and blogger, witnessed a thrilling match at Limitless Wrestling's Limitless Rumble on Jan. 16. MJF, fresh from a successful AEW World title defense against Bandido, took on Alec Price and emerged victorious. But the real news came after the match. MJF, in his signature heelish style, praised Price and his tag partner Jordan Oliver, and then dropped a bombshell: Tony Khan has signed both members of the tag team Bustah and the Brain to AEW!
Price and Oliver, the current GCW Tag champs, have been on the rise in the wrestling scene. Price, a 27-year-old veteran with a wrestling career spanning since 2017, has already made his mark on AEW's Rampage. Oliver, 26, who started wrestling in 2019, recently appeared in ROH tapings. This signing adds fuel to the fire in the ongoing roster wars between AEW, WWE, and TNA. With AEW recently acquiring The Rascalz and WWE signing Powerhouse Hobbs, the wrestling world is witnessing a fascinating shift in talent distribution.
And this is the part most people miss—the impact of these signings on the indie wrestling scene. MJF's defense of his indie title and subsequent announcement showcases the growing recognition of independent wrestlers. But is this a positive trend or a potential threat to the indie circuit? The debate is open, and we want to hear your thoughts!
