It has been months since Wardlow has wrestled on AEW television. His run in the company has been filled with start and stop pushes. At one point, it appeared that he was in line for a big feud with Adam Cole but with Cole out of action, those plans have been halted. Wardlow has been seen by many as a guy who should be in the main event picture but as of now, there are no plans for him on TV.
Wardlow was shown at the Jacksonville Jaguars game on September 15 and looked like he was healthy so an injury doesn’t seem to be the reason why he’s off TV. Dave Meltzer noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Wardlow is “just one of those guys not being used.”
AEW cycles in a ton of wrestlers because of their large roster. No word yet on when Wardlow will be slotted back into creative plans. For what it’s worth, his most recent wrestling-related tweet was about MJF so that could be a feud they revisit sometime down the line. Wardlow sent out the following tweet on June 5th:
“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”
