MJF Reportedly Set for Imminent AEW Television Return in a Top Program

MJF AEW Return Update – Former AEW World Champion MJF is reportedly expected to make his return to All Elite Wrestling television in the near future.

Friedman has been absent from AEW programming since All In: London 2026 in August, where he competed unsuccessfully in the Casino Gauntlet match to determine the number-one contender for the AEW World Championship.

According to an update from Sean Ross Sapp, backstage discussions regarding MJF’s return have been circulating since last month, with his comeback now believed to be imminent.

“He is going to come back pretty soon,” Sapp stated during the podcast discussion. “You know, I’d been hearing that as of like last month as well.”

MJF Creative Plans and Upcoming AEW Schedule

In addition to his expected return timeline, reports indicate that AEW management has significant creative plans prepared for his comeback.

“Expect MJF to be back very soon and in a very, like, a top program,” Sapp added.

While neither AEW nor Friedman has confirmed an exact return date, the report comes just ahead of the promotion’s next major pay-per-view event. AEW Full Gear 2026 is scheduled to take place this Saturday, November 14, in Phoenix, Arizona.
