Summary

A program between MJF and Jeff Jarrett that started in January 2025 was reportedly meant to continue far longer than it did. According to the report, the original creative pitch would have kept the feud going all the way to AEW All In Texas before plans changed.

The angle instead wrapped up quickly, and Jarrett has not wrestled for AEW since that stretch in early 2025.

The original idea for MJF and Jeff Jarrett

The report said AEW's early plan was for the rivalry to stay active until All In Texas. That would have made Jarrett part of a much longer story around one of the company's biggest events, rather than a short-lived feud that disappeared within weeks.

No further details were given on what the extended version of the program would have looked like, only that the direction shifted rapidly after criticism.

What the change meant for MJF and Jeff Jarrett

For MJF, ending the Jarrett program early meant AEW moved away from a long runway that was originally tied to All In Texas. That matters because MJF has remained central to the promotion's top stories, even after his second AEW World Championship reign ended when Darby Allin beat him in just over two minutes on the Spring BreakThru edition of Dynamite.

For Jarrett, the report helps explain why his AEW run against one of the company's biggest stars stopped so abruptly. If the feud had stayed on its original path, Jarrett would have remained in a featured storyline much deeper into the 2025 calendar.
