MJF Wraps Violent Night 2 Filming, AEW Return Date Uncertain

MJF, the former AEW World Champion, has been absent from AEW television since his loss to Mark Briscoe at AEW All Out 2025, as he has been focusing on his burgeoning acting career. He has been filming "Violent Night 2" in Winnipeg, with production expected to wrap up soon, although there is no confirmed date for his return to AEW. Sources indicate that MJF has caught "the acting bug" and has enjoyed his experiences on set, having previously appeared in films like "The Iron Claw" and "Happy Gilmore 2," and is slated for the upcoming comedy "The Floaters." Despite his time away, MJF has promised a comeback as a more dangerous competitor, reflecting a renewed focus and ambition. His Hollywood endeavors have involved an intense schedule, including frequent travel between AEW events and filming locations, which has led to his current hiatus from wrestling. Fans anticipate that once filming concludes, MJF may return to AEW, potentially blending his increased star power with his wrestling prowess.
