AEW World Champion MJF recently joined Comicbook.com for an interview to promote this Saturday’s Worlds End pay-per-view, where the Salt of the Earth will be defending his title against Samoa Joe in the main event.
During his chat, MJF revealed his desire to be acting full-time, something he hopes to be doing five years from now. He says that he would like to remain a full-time wrestler in that time, citing John Cena, The Rock, and Batista as superstars whose footsteps he’d like to follow.
I genuinely think in five years from now, I’m going to be a guy that people see regularly on their TV screen outside of the professional wrestling landscape. Trust me, I love wrestling too much to not still be involved in it. I will most likely still be full-time, but I want to be acting full-time as well by then. I would also like to put out an album by then. I would like to be a well distinguished actor that is recognized as being a great actor that transitioned from wrestling like these greats that did it before me. Like Dwayne, like Batista. Like Cena.
In a separate interview, MJF spoke more about Worlds End, and even revealed that he considers his matchup to be even bigger than his All In showdown against Adam Cole from this past summer. You can read about that here.
