Massie was reportedly upset with how AEW handled the whole All Out 2022 backstage brawl that involved her husband, Matt Jackson. With the exceptions of Andrade (at least according to rumors) and possibly Massie, all of these talents have left their respective companies on good terms and would likely be welcomed back if they ever chose to return.
Also for what it's worth, AEW has removed MJF from their roster page, in what is almost certainly a move to try and make the AEW audience believe that MJF has left the company. It was rumored that MJF secretly signed a new long-term deal with AEW sometime in 2023, despite his "Bidding War of 2024" comments that he used to constantly make when he was a heel.
