MJF on AEW not censoring the ‘F*ck ICE’ chants, notes AEW is not affiliated with a political party whereas WWE has leaned right:
“We had a ‘F*ck ICE’ chant. I think what’s so cool about that is in our company, our fans have a voice. And in the other company, a lot of times when fans curse or when they say something that they don’t want them to say, they just bleep it. They bleep the crowd out entirely and they edit it out of the show. Or they’ll create fake crowd noise of it so you can’t hear the chants they’re making.
I’ll also say. They’ve made a choice to be a little bit more right-leaning. Triple H has done a couple of speeches in the White House. Linda McMahon, I believe, is in the cabinet… We are not affiliated to any party, so anybody can feel comfortable going to our shows.”

MJF on what makes AEW different from WWE:
"AEW feels like the wrestling you grew up on. It's not all squeaky clean, and PG, and bullshit, and cinema. It's real. It's good."
"The other company has great stuff going on, but all their top acts are in their 40s... We're giving you fresh, new, and we're not relying on the past."
(Adam Friedland Show)
Triple H names Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Seth Rollins as the guys who could have a big backstage presence in WWE when they retire from the ring.
Only thing is, he won’t be there when they fill those roles 🫥
Backstage news on the reality of what happened with Logan Paul getting a phone call from WWE telling him he didn't have permission to box NFL players:
"One source in WWE said that the conversation itself that was played and everyone heard was staged, but that it was close to a replica of what actually went down in the sense that the reasons in the call why they wouldn’t allow him to box and how it was explained was how it was done.
"Another confirmed the reasons as explained were legit and while not denying the phone call itself being planned for release, was essentially done publicly to explain why Paul couldn’t do the fight since the fight with Bell by that time had gotten a lot of media publicity."
