MJF on Backstage Incident with Britt Baker Being “Blown Out of Proportion”

As noted before, Britt Baker was suspended and fined following a backstage incident with MJF at AEW’s Dynamite 250 show on July 17th in Little Rock, Arkansas. Baker’s suspension was lifted this past week and she made a video appearance on this past Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show.

Cultaholic held a recent interview with MJF. One of the topics discussed included MJF’s thoughts about his recent backstage incident with Baker being “blown out of proportion” in regards to what had been reported about it.

“Tell me if this passes the smell test. I barge into a woman’s locker room. I scream in the face of an 110-pound woman, and then I physically threaten her by punching a wall in her vicinity…and I don’t get suspended. Does that pass the smell test to you? Almost everything that was written didn’t happen.

Everybody has co-workers at work they may not get along with. I have a feeling that this was blown out of proportion because all of the English wrestling commentary places that make money off of people like me, who are far more rich and talented and handsome and humble, need clickbait.

I can sit here and I can say wrestling is a very competitive sport. It breeds a level of insecurity like no other. However, I can easily put over any talent, regardless of whether or not I like them as a human being. I can sit here and I can tell you that Britt Baker vs. Mercedes Moné at Wembley on August 25th is going to be an epic match and we should all be excited to watch it. I don’t have to like all my coworkers and that’s fine. But yeah, dude, that sh*t was wild to read.”
