Update On Wardlow's AEW Status
There has been an update on why Wardlow has not been on AEW programming
Sep 21, 2024
Former three time TNT Champion Wardlow has not competed in a match on AEW programming for over six months, last wrestling on the March 13 episode of AEW Dynamite in a losing effort against then-AEW World Champion Samoa Joe. This came on the back of Wardlow becoming the number one contender for the AEW World Title at the Revolution 2024 PPV, winning an All-Star Gauntlet match.
In the lead-up, it had been teased that Wardlow was set to feud with Undisputed Kingdom leader Adam Cole. Wardlow was originally a part of this group, but in recent months it has been solely Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett representing the faction, with both Wardlow & Cole absent. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the reason why Wardlow is not on AEW programming is rather simple - he is just one those on the roster not being used. He was recently shown at the 9/15 Jacksonville Jaguars game, looking healthy.
When it comes to Adam Cole, he was reportedly backstage at AEW All Out 2024 and AEW Dynamite these last few weeks.
