5. RIP Wardlow's Opponent

AEW

Wardlow just looks awesome in these squash matches.

Though not as light-footed as Brodie Lee or Lance Archer, his power and explosiveness are incredible and his moveset is one of the most eye-catching in the company. 'Mr. Mayhem's' release suplexes are so crazy they have made Pete Dunne's irrelevant, his hanging Powerslam looks like a spine-shatterer, and the F10 is one of the coolest-looking things in AEW, as the big man lobs opponents around like carrier bags in a whirlwind.

Lee Johnson met his end quickly, as he should have. Wardlow quietly moves to 2-1 and will hopefully get the chance to tie-up with stronger opposition in the near future.
