The trade of Luka Dončić from the Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers not only shocked the NBA world but its impact was also felt in other industries, including wrestling entertainment.
Recently, WWE star Seth Rollins sparked a big conversation in wrestling by comparing a potential trade between WWE and AEW to the massive Luka Dončić trade. His comments got everyone’s attention.
On SiriusXM Sports, Seth Rollins shared his bold opinion that no one in AEW is on the same level as Luka Dončić. He was asked if there was anyone in AEW who could be traded to WWE and get the same reaction as Dončić’s trade.
Rollins responded, saying, “I’m gonna make some headlines with this one. I don’t think there anybody in AEW that’s on that level.” However, ‘The Visionary’ did compare the situation to LeBron James in basketball and John Cena in wrestling, saying MJF could be the closest match if something happened in the future.

His comments sparked a lot of discussion, with fans and experts debating if AEW has a star who could match WWE’s top talent. Even the former AEW World Champion joined the conversation, responding to Rollins’ bold statement.
MJF defends AEW by taking aim at Luka Dončić’s Lakers trade saga
Seth Rollins’ bold comment comparing AEW stars to WWE stars was quite savage, and, of course, AEW superstars didn’t like it. MJF was the first to respond.
On social media, MJF sarcastically asked, “Who the heck is Luka Dončić?” and joked about whether the NBA star was an indie wrestler. This was a direct jab at Rollins, making fun of Dončić’s importance and showing off MJF’s usual arrogance.
Who the hell is Luca doncic?

Indie guy?
The rivalry between AEW and WWE hasn’t been as heated as it was in 2022 and 2023 when both companies were competing fiercely for viewers. But with CM Punk returning to WWE, AEW fell behind a lot. Their comments about Dončić’s trade to the Lakers might just bring that old rivalry back.
