As AEW gears up for its landmark All In 2025 event at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, speculation grows about whether MJF could deliver a surprise victory reminiscent of the Seth Rollins WrestleMania heist comparison. The annual showcase, often seen as AEW’s WrestleMania equivalent, is set for next month and has the wrestling world buzzing, particularly around the possibility of MJF replicating Seth Rollins’ iconic moment.
Anticipation Builds Around AEW’s Casino Gauntlet Match
The Casino Gauntlet match is quickly emerging as a centerpiece for All In 2025. While the official lineup of participants remains under wraps, rumors suggest several high-profile AEW wrestlers could be involved, igniting anticipation among fans. There is growing discussion that if MJF is included, President Tony Khan could orchestrate an unforgettable moment for the company.
Should MJF secure a victory in this highly competitive match, it would position him as the next challenger for the AEW World Championship. Known as “The Salt of the Earth,” MJF has showcased his capacity for drama and big-match moments, and another title run would only heighten the excitement around All In.
Potential for a Night of Major Surprises
The intrigue extends further, as MJF could elect to “cash in” his Casino Gauntlet contract on the very night of All In, setting up a battle for the AEW World Championship. This title match could pit him against established stars like Jon Moxley or “Hangman” Adam Page, both of whom are regarded as top-tier talents within the company. A victory under these circumstances would not only create shockwaves throughout the wrestling world but could also install MJF as AEW World Champion in dramatic fashion.
This potential twist immediately draws comparisons to one of wrestling’s most unforgettable moments. At WrestleMania 31, Seth Rollins famously cashed in his Money in the Bank contract during the main event between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, seizing the WWE Championship. A similar scenario at All In 2025 would certainly position MJF at the center of wrestling’s biggest headlines, drawing comparisons between AEW and WWE’s most talked-about events.
MJF’s Approach to Advice in the Locker Room
Behind the scenes, MJF’s reputation for arrogance remains intact. Speaking on the SI Media Podcast, he shared insight into his interactions with fellow AEW talent. When younger wrestlers seek guidance, MJF appears to embrace his “heel” persona even backstage:
“Absolutely. They do come up to me, and what I always do, I tell them this, ‘Here’s the deal. I’m a little busy right now, but text me or call me when the show is over.’ Then, I just don’t answer. Better yet, in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, sometimes I give the wrong advice.”
—MJF, AEW Wrestler
This attitude cements MJF’s character, blurring the lines between his on-screen persona and his real-life behavior, further contributing to his notoriety within AEW.
What’s Next for MJF and AEW?
Currently aligned with the Hurt Syndicate, MJF has maintained a looming presence in the company. As the All In event approaches, the question remains—could Tony Khan use this moment to propel MJF into the spotlight once again? With references to past events like Seth Rollins’ WrestleMania heist, expectations are high that All In 2025 could deliver one of wrestling’s most memorable twists, resonating well beyond the Globe Life Field in Texas.
