MJF has not made his AEW return since losing the World Championship earlier this month, and Tony Khan has now explained why he won’t be part of one of the company’s biggest shows of the summer.

During the AEW Redemption media call, Khan confirmed that MJF is dealing with multiple injuries after wrestling a tough schedule throughout 2026. The good news, however, is that Khan doesn’t expect him to be out for very long.

MJF last wrestled on the July 8 episode of AEW Dynamite: Beach Break, where he lost the AEW World Championship to Kenny Omega. Since then, fans have been wondering why he disappeared from TV, and Khan confirmed that it’s just because of his injuries.

Tony Khan praises MJF for fighting through injuries

During the media call, Khan praised MJF for continuing to perform despite dealing with several injuries. He also separated MJF’s on-screen character from the person behind it.

“MJF is not a nice guy, he’s not a nice person, but he’s a great wrestler. We love to have him when he’s healthy and fit to compete,” Khan said.

Khan also gave MJF credit for pushing through pain during his latest title reign.

“He’s been through a lot of big matches. That’s what’s tremendous about having such a strong roster of wrestlers, being able to not have to pressure them because we want to extend these wrestlers’ careers. In the case of MJF, he’s somebody that I hope is wrestling for decades and decades at a top level. He’s a very young man. He’s had some major injuries this year that he’s been fighting through, as a credit to him. It speaks highly of MJ,” Khan said.

“I’m looking forward to his return to AEW when he’s back, which he will be back, very soon, I’m sure. I’m grateful the injuries he sustained are nothing that will keep him out really really long term because as you know there are other times in the sport contrary to this where people have injuries and they can alter careers sometimes. So I’m glad he’s going to be okay because he’s a very important wrestler in AEW,” he added.
