MJF Says He’s In A Lot Of Pain Still Due To His Knee Injury

While appearing on Shut Up and Wrestle with Brian Solomon, MJF provided an update on his injury situation. He says his knee is “f–ked” and he’s in a “sh-t ton of f–king pain.” But despite that, MJF will be wrestling because he’s the top guy. Here’s what The Salt of the Earth said:

“My knee is f–ked. It’s swollen to sh-t. I’m in a sh-t ton of f–king pain. It’s on me because I’m the f–king top guy and people are leaning on me to make sure that we’re doing well. So I’ve got to lace my god damn boots up and get in that damn ring. And obviously, a doctor is never going to let me go in there unless structurally I’m okay. So don’t think I’m burying the AEW medical team. I’m in a lot of pain, there’s swelling, but structurally I’m good.“
