Although the fans have a clue about why MJF is leaving, it surprised many after Samoa Joe wasn’t there at the Fan Fest. A wrestling observer, Bryan Alvarez later revealed the reason on Twitter.
His tweet said, “It appears the situation with Samoa Joe and the Fan Fest was a communication issue, so totally different from whatever is happening with MJF, who did no-show.”

Apparently, Joe instead attended a voiceover session for a new project. There was a miscommunication between the AEW officials and him, so he did not attend the Fan Fest. There is no conflict between AEW officials and Joe for him to make a no-show.
Did MJF really leave Las Vegas ahead of AEW Double or Nothing?
Maxwell Jacob Friedman and Tony Khan are currently having a backstage dispute over MJF’s contractual issues. A few days ago, in an interview, ‘The Two Year Vet’ said about signing with the one who pays him more money. However, this statement didn’t sit well with the AEW owner.
