Former AEW World Champion MJF’s wife, Alicia Atout, recently received a message from AEW President Tony Khan after commenting on Max’s surprising return to television. Tony Khan responded to Alicia’s social media post with a GIF, showing his reaction to MJF’s unexpected comeback.
On AEW Holiday Bash this week, Maxwell Jacob Friedman made his long-awaited TV return after his defeat to Mark Briscoe at All Out 2025. Max wasted no time in confronting the World Champion, Samoa Joe, as well as Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page. He also cashed in his World title contract that he had earned at All In Texas.
With his return, MJF has entered the AEW World title match at Worlds End 2025, where he will face off against Joe, Hangman, and Swerve in a four-way showdown. Following Max’s return, his wife, Alicia Atout, took to social media to express her frustration, stating that they were supposed to go on their honeymoon after Max finished filming, but his TV return changed their plans.
In response to Alicia’s post, Tony Khan couldn’t help but acknowledge her comment and playfully suggested that he has been charmed by a sociopath, hinting at MJF’s manipulative character.
In a surprising revelation from Dave Metlzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, it was reported that Tony Khan rescheduled an AEW event, ROH Death Before Dishonor, to attend MJF and Alicia Atout’s wedding on September 5, 2025. Khan’s dedication to not missing a show led to the event being moved up a week to accommodate his presence at the wedding.
With MJF back in the mix, the anticipation is high to see if he can secure the AEW World Championship at Worlds End 2025. Fans will have to wait and see how the four-way match unfolds and if MJF can reclaim the title once again.
As the AEW drama continues to unfold, it’s clear that both in and out of the ring, the stakes are high for MJF and his wife Alicia Atout. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting storyline.
