AEW Star MJF Pursues Acting Roles During Wrestling Hiatus

AEW star MJF has been on hiatus from wrestling since his loss to Mark Briscoe in a brutal Tables & Thumbtacks match at the 2025 AEW All Out pay-per-view. During this break, MJF has been focusing on his acting career, recently filming the sequel Violent Night 2 in Winnipeg, with production expected to wrap soon. He has expressed enthusiasm for his acting projects, which also include roles in The Iron Claw and Happy Gilmore 2. MJF's last AEW promo hinted at a character transformation, promising to return stronger and more dangerous, aiming to reclaim the top spot in professional wrestling on his own terms. While there is no confirmed date for his AEW return, insiders acknowledge that he has caught "the acting bug" and is enjoying his time away from wrestling. Fans remain eager for updates on when MJF will rejoin AEW programming.
