A look at Wardlow’s explosive AEW career

Standing tall at 6’2″ and weighing 280 pounds, Wardlow is a dominant force in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He burst onto the scene in 2019, initially serving as the imposing shadow to the villainous MJF, showcasing his strength and agility in notable feuds against Cody Rhodes, Hangman Page, and the Dark Order.

In February 2022, the inevitable clash occurred. Wardlow, tired of MJF’s disrespect, rebelled against his former boss, leading to a thrilling showdown at Double or Nothing, where he emerged victorious. This pivotal moment marked Wardlow’s transition from a bodyguard to a main event contender.

His rise continued as he won the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match, guaranteeing a future AEW World Championship opportunity. Wardlow went on to capture the TNT Championship three times, solidifying his status as one of the top contenders in AEW. Now aligned with the mysterious Undisputed Kingdom, Wardlow’s motivations are cloaked in secrecy, hinting at another intriguing chapter in his evolving AEW journey.
