Wardlow’s AEW Absence and WWE Appearances Spark Speculation

Summary

– Wardlow’s absence from AEW TV continues after his defeat by Samoa Joe.

– Spotted with WWE stars, raising questions about his future in AEW.

– Fans anticipate his return, but AEW remains silent on his status.

Wardlow was once a dominant force in AEW, capturing fans’ attention with his imposing presence. However, many now feel that Wardlow has been underutilized for some time. He has been noticeably absent from AEW programming despite his talents, leaving fans curious about his future.

Wardlow last won the TNT Championship on April 19, 2023, but his reign was short-lived, losing the title to Luchasaurus on June 17 at Collision. He turned heel on October 4, decisively defeating several opponents, and hinted at a challenge for AEW World Champion MJF. By December 30 at AEW Worlds End, he joined The Undisputed Kingdom, aligning himself with Adam Cole in pursuit of the AEW World Championship. His momentum, however, took a hit after winning an All-Star Scramble at Revolution for a title shot, only to be defeated by Samoa Joe on Dynamite: Big Business.

Since that match, Wardlow has been missing from AEW television. He was recently seen at a red carpet event with WWE stars Shawn Spears, Kiana James, and Kofi Kingston during his absence. AEW star Lady Frost shared a photo of the gathering on Twitter, where Wardlow appeared happy alongside his fellow wrestlers. The caption, “Runway gang,” sparked speculation about his status with AEW.

AEW has remained silent regarding Wardlow’s future in the company. While his current situation remains unclear, fans hope for his return to AEW television. Until then, his status with AEW remains a topic of speculation.
