MJF softens stance on TNA President Carlos Silva: “He’s learning on the job”

Former AEW champion MJF has softened his stance on TNA President Carlos Silva, weeks after calling Silva a “dumb motherf*cker” for pulling all TNA talent from wrestling AEW stars during WrestleMania weekend.

MJF was one of the most vocal stars to bash Silva on social media after his match against Nic Nemeth was also canceled.

There were rumors that Silva was not happy that AEW moved Collision to Thursday in early April, head-to-head with their program on AMC.

“It’s called being preempted due to March madness,” MJF wrote on X at the time. “This guy is actively a dumb motherf*cker. Congrats. You pay your talents shit. Force them off shows where they can make money. #lolTna”

Speaking to Ariel Helwani, MJF explained how AEW were pre-empted, as it is often the case during that time of the year, and the show was moved by WBD on Thursday.

“We get pushed to Thursdays. He thought that we intentionally asked Warner Bros. Discovery. We were pre-empted and he didn’t know that, so because he didn’t know that, he got offended and then he pulled a couple of matches off,” MJF said.

He noted that he was offended because he was looking forward to beat the shit out of Nic Nemeth and because he’s taking money out of people’s pockets.

“So, I was a little upset, but I have been informed that this guy’s getting smarter to the business, he’s fairly green, he’s fairly new, and he’s learning on the job,” MJF continued. “And I’ve been told that he’s a good guy, so I’ve pumped the brakes a little bit on ol’ Carlos Silva. He’s learning on the job.”

Silva admitted that it was his decision and took full responsibility for the actions.
