AEW Star May Need Surgery
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has been around for less than a year, but they are starting to make stars. To date, MJF is arguably the biggest name that did not come from WWE or New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Quickly, MJF become one of the top heels in AEW and many believe he could carry the company into the future. Although, he has been missing from TV as of late.
Due to COVID-19, AEW was forced to tape weeks if not months worth of TV. There is no word if they will use all that footage or when the promotion will resume daily operations.
Several wrestlers were missing from those tapings, including MJF. He hinted on social media that something happened, but did not provide details.
Now, MJF has revealed he suffered an injury and might require surgery. Also, he is apparently taking a break from social media.
MJF’s Comments On Current Status
I wish I could put my body on the line more for you guys. I truly care so much about you being entertained during your hour of need. Unfortunately something awful has happened to me and it has gradually gotten worse. I can’t comment on what the issue is at this time. https://t.co/1WoXSzPh7r

AEW Star Being Groomed For A Major Push Before Possible Surgery
The first few months of AEW saw MJF quickly shine. As they prepared to debut on TNT, he was made a face.
MJF was paired with Cody, until he turned on him. That led to several months of build before we got Cody vs. MJF at Revolution.
After some dirty tactics, MJF secured the win and seemed close to getting a AEW World Championship shot. Since MJF did work the recent tapings, he might lose his spot towards the top of AEW’s weekly rankings.
Revival Pitched Crazy Gimmick (Photos)
The Revival were considered one of the best tag teams in NXT. Although, they were not correctly booked on the main roster.
That led to The Revival requesting their WWE release several times over the past 12 months. Eventually, WWE caved and let both superstars go.
The Revival had a gimmick about being tough guys that relied on their fists and not flips. Towards the end of their run, there were rumors of WWE wanting to make them a comedy duo.
Apparently, those rumors seem to be true as pictures leaked by Bodyslam showed what their attire would be. WWE literally were going to turn them into clowns as seen below.
Furthermore, The Revival can longer use that name as WWE owns the copyright. Also, they had to change their singles names.
As a team, they are now going by The Revolt. Individually, they have become Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood.
On Twitter, Harwood seemingly confirmed the report about the proposed gimmick change by WWE.
