Social media has become a big platform for wrestlers to interact with their fans. It has become such an important aspect of wrestling that wrestlers don’t even want to see their companies posting an embarrassing moment from the show. The same thing happened to the AEW World Champion, MJF and he’s extremely unhappy about it.

So much so that he brought his inner Sami Zayn out and just commanded the company’s Twitter!

After performing in his highest-rated match in history, MJF celebrated his win by throwing himself a re-bar mitzvah. But Darby Allin, Jack ‘Jungle Boy ‘Perry, and Sammy Guevara cut short the celebrations. Not only did the three demand a shot at the title, but they also crashed his party and sent him home covered in cake.

After the show, AEW’s Twitter mockingly posted photos of MJF falling into the cake and the champ was unhappy. He quoted the tweet and said, “DELETE THIS”. But you might be wondering how does all of this connect to Zayn? Well, let us rehash your memory.

AEW Star MJF Suffers Embarrassing ‘Medical Botch’ After His Match and Could Do Absolutely Nothing About It

This is strikingly reminiscent of Zayn’s tweet when WWE posted about Johnny Knoxville’s birthday. Before his time mixing in with the Bloodline, Sami Zayn was a conspiracist, trying to uncover WWE’s truths. During his conspiracy gimmick run, Zayn fought the stunt celebrity, Johnny Knoxville.

After having a goofy and entertaining match with the celebrity at WrestleMania 38, Zayn wanted everyone to forget about it. But when WWE brought it up again, when Zayn was aligned with the Bloodline, he wanted the company to delete it.

MJF’s past histories with Twitter

But this is not the first time that MJF has shut down his own company or his fellow wrestlers on Twitter. As Darby Allin pointed out in the segment, the champ is mostly on Twitter, calling people out. Not too long ago, he got served by Britt Baker when he tried to shut her up on Twitter. While everyone might hate him on TV, at the end of the day MJF works for AEW.
