Exciting news is shaking up the wrestling world as AEW welcomes fresh talent into its ranks, but here's where it gets intriguing: MJF, in a rare independent appearance, has seemingly hinted at the arrival of Alec Price and Jordan Oliver to the promotion. Could this be the start of a new era for these unsigned stars?
During Friday’s ‘Limitless Rumble’ event in Lewiston, Maine, MJF defended his AEW World Championship against Alec Price, ultimately retaining the title with his signature Salt of the Earth move. But the real buzz began afterward, when MJF addressed the crowd, teasing their potential future in AEW. He playfully asked the audience if they thought Price and Oliver could ‘make an impact’—a nod to the world of sports entertainment—and whether they’d like to see them join AEW. MJF even dropped a bombshell: Tony Khan wants to see if they can pass the test, strongly suggesting their addition to the roster. And this is the part most people miss: MJF’s words weren’t just hype; they were a near-confirmation of what’s to come.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Are Price and Oliver ready for the AEW spotlight, or is this move too soon for these rising stars? Price, 27, has been wrestling since 2017 and made waves with two matches on AEW Rampage in 2024, along with recent appearances in ROH tapings in Arlington, Texas. Oliver, 26, is no stranger to the ring either, having wrestled multiple matches in ROH last year and appearing in the same Texas tapings. Both have also been staples in Game Changer Wrestling, proving their versatility and skill. Yet, the question remains: Can they truly stand out in AEW’s competitive landscape?
Their addition follows recent roster expansions, including Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, and Myron Reed. But will Price and Oliver be game-changers, or just another pair of names in the crowded AEW roster? This move could either solidify AEW’s dominance in the wrestling world or spark debates about talent saturation. What do you think? Are Price and Oliver the next big thing, or is AEW moving too fast? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments—this is one discussion you won’t want to miss!
