The wrestling world is buzzing with fresh revelations involving AEW’s top stars, from unexpected personal quirks to notable career shifts and major Hollywood moments. In this comprehensive update, we dive into the latest stories making waves around All Elite Wrestling, focusing on MJF’s controversial Netflix debut, a certain AEW wrestler’s fascination with men’s private parts, and upcoming gimmick changes that could redefine AEW’s future.
Top AEW Wrestler’s Fascination Sparks Locker Room Talk
Recently, backstage sources have revealed that one of AEW’s leading wrestlers has developed an unusual and rather humorous fascination with a very specific part of male anatomy. According to a WWE insider, “There’s a certain AEW star who’s been jokingly dubbed ‘The Enthusiast’ because of his weird obsession with penises — it’s become a running gag and lightens the mood during long travel days” [2].
This revelation, while surprising, is mostly seen as locker room banter and not taken seriously. It highlights the candid, offbeat personalities that thrive in the AEW locker room, often sparking playful teasing but never crossing professional lines.
MJF’s Daring Debut in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’: A Movie Moment to Remember
Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF), one of AEW’s brightest stars, has officially made his Hollywood debut in the highly anticipated Netflix sequel Happy Gilmore 2, released on July 25, 2025 [1]. The film, starring Adam Sandler reprising his iconic role, features MJF as one of Gilmore’s sons.
What’s grabbing immediate attention is MJF’s highly unfiltered on-screen presence. In an exclusive interview during the Casuals Podcast with Katie Nolan, MJF revealed a humorous yet bold behind-the-scenes story about exposing more than intended during filming. “When they said, ‘MJF, we need you to drop trou in this scene,’ I took it very seriously and dropped trou. I thought they would only shoot from the back, but to my surprise, there was some danglage caught on camera,” he shared unabashedly [4].
This unexpected “d**k dangle” moment is causing quite a stir, underscoring MJF’s willingness to fully commit to his roles beyond the wrestling ring. Such a candid admission is rare in wrestling circles and is boosting MJF’s profile as a versatile entertainer.
Interestingly, WWE reportedly intervened to have MJF removed from trailers promoting the movie on WWE programming, underscoring the ongoing competitive tension between WWE and AEW [3]. Despite this, the buzz around MJF’s movie role is only growing.
AEW Wrestler Set for a Major Gimmick Overhaul
In addition to behind-the-scenes quirks and Hollywood news, AEW is preparing for some notable changes in its character lineup. Sources close to AEW indicated that a fan-favorite wrestler is planning to switch up their gimmick drastically in the coming months.
According to insiders, “AEW management is excited about this rebranding opportunity. The wrestler in question wants to shed their current persona to explore something edgier and more complex, aiming to connect with audiences on a deeper emotional level,” revealed a WWE insider with close ties to AEW [2].
Such gimmick changes are risky but have historically led to career revitalizations. AEW’s willingness to allow its talent such artistic freedom is part of what sets it apart and draws fans hungry for fresh narratives.
