AEW’s Cable Partners Ban MJF From Advertising Over Recent Promo

I think he struck a nerve. Talking is one of most important abilities a wrestler can have, if not the very most important. Wrestlers can get in the ring and have a good match, but it takes something special to get fans invested in what is going on. That is where a great promo can come in, which was the case last week. It just might have been a little bit too great for some people.

Last week on AEW Dynamite, Maxwell Jacob Friedman gave an interview where he erupted on AEW as well as AEW President Tony Khan. Friedman talked about not being happy with his spot in the company or how he was being treated and at one point was censored. According to PWInsider.com, an edict has been issued at Warner Brothers Discovery ordering that Friedman be removed from all material promoting AEW, with different clips being used in their place. There is no word on how long Friedman could be removed from the footage or when he might appear on AEW TV again.

Opinion: I’m not entirely sure what is going on here, but it seems that Friedman’s promo certainly struck a nerve somewhere. That is the kind of thing that could make for some interesting changes, though I’m curious to see just how upset he has made Warner Brothers Discovery. Maybe this is a big angle, but at the same time, it is something that could go in a lot of ways.
