In a recent edition of the Battleground podcast, All Elite Wrestling's Jeff Jarrett recalled how his last in-ring contract came about. He said:
“Jay [Lethal] was like, “Hey man, we appreciate anything that-” That's kind of, we call it the group. Satnam Singh, Jay Lethal, Sonjat [Dutt]my wife [Karen Jarrett]. “We appreciate everything you’ve done for us, but man, if this is your last contract” … because I kind of had it in my head that this would be my last contract. ‘If this is your last contract, go for the fences.’ I kept hearing that said in different ways, but look, do it all.”
Jarrett recently announced that his new contract will be his last as an in-ring competitor and is expected to last for one year.
On AEW TV, Jarrett feuded with MJF, who mocked the veteran competitor on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.
In their promo match, MJF insinuated that Jarrett was exploiting his friendship with Owen Hart to score a monumental farewell run.
