A notable AEW star has been absent from television for a while, and fans have been speculating about why he’s not being used.
That star is Wardlow, who hasn’t wrestled since March 13th on an episode of Dynamite. This is where he put over then-AEW World Champion Samoa Joe in a match that the referee stopped.
Dave Meltzer reported last week that Wardlow is “just one of those guys not being used.” Wardlow was shown at the Jacksonville Jaguars game on September 15 and seemed fine.
Fans may recall Wardlow’s tweet on June 5th that read, “He wants to be a 6’3 270lb monster athlete so bad. Now stealing my whole identity? Call yourself the “lone wolf” all you want. you’re still just a pu**y that I squashed like nothing. Almost feel bad for the little boy, but the disrespect has gone too far for too long.”
While appearing on the Stick to Wrestling Podcast, Matt Taven confirmed Wardlow is sidelined with a knee injury. He noted injuries can be tricky sometimes and he thinks Wardlow is trying to figure out the best kind of treatment plan to get him back on track.
We wish Wardlow a speedy recovery.
