A lot of people compare this to Sasha and Naomi obviously. Which at the base level it is. Both parties signed contracts and now neither are happy with some part of the terms of that deal.
I'm not as sympathetic to them though because they are getting paid fairly, they just don't like creative and that's something I don't jive with. I hate when people are badly booked, but at the end of the day you gotta put on the program the boss wants because he signs your checks.
Another difference is that they walked out of RAW when they were booked in the main event, whereas MJF showed up to curtain jerk and got absolutely destroyed by Wardlow and written off of TV. He showed up and did his job; they didn't.
Also I really want AEW to pay him something and keep him around because I would prefer he stay in AEW where he shines in his role.
