MJF has broken his silence regarding the behind-the-scenes incident with Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., which led to her suspension from All Elite Wrestling.
On rumors about storming in the women’s locker room and punching a wall during an argument with Britt Baker: “Tell me if this passes the smell test. I barge into a woman’s locker room. I scream in the face of an 110-pound woman, and then I physically threaten her by punching a wall in her vicinity…and I don’t get suspended. Does that pass the smell test to you? Almost everything that was written didn’t happen.”
On how everyone has co-workers they don’t particularly get along with well, and that the entire situation was blown out of proportion: “Everybody has co-workers at work they may not get along with. I have a feeling that this was blown out of proportion because all of the English wrestling commentary places that make money off of people like me, who are far more rich and talented and handsome and humble, need clickbait.”
On how he’s as excited as everyone else to see her upcoming showdown with Mercedes Mone at AEW ALL IN 2024: “I can sit here and I can say wrestling is a very competitive sport. It breeds a level of insecurity like no other. However, I can easily put over any talent, regardless of whether or not I like them as a human being. I can sit here and I can tell you that Britt Baker vs. Mercedes Moné at Wembley on August 25th is going to be an epic match and we should all be excited to watch it. I don’t have to like all my coworkers and that’s fine. But yeah, dude, that sh*t was wild to read.”
