One of AEW's top attractions, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, also known as MJF, has been off television for months. Amid his absence, a recent update has hinted at his imminent return. MJF's last appearances took place back in September. He dropped his CMLL World Light Heavyweight Title to Mistico and then suffered a major defeat at the hands of Mark Briscoe at AEW All Out. After the match, the former AEW World Champion said he wasn't ready to return until he could look himself in the mirror and “no longer see a fraud.”He was written off television so he could film the action comedy movie, Violent Night 2, as the production began in Winnipeg. According to an update by Fightful Select, the 29-year-old is expected to return to the Jacksonville-based promotion "sooner rather than later" as the filming is almost complete.Additionally, the report also stated that sources close to the situation indicated that, although there is no specific date, Friedman is factored into AEW's creative plans by December, with the exact details of his role and appearances remaining unclear at the moment.Former WWE Superstar called MJF his favorite wrestlerMaxwell Jacob Friedman has become a highly popular name in professional wrestling.
