10 AEW Wrestlers To Jump Ship RIGHT NOW
5. Wardlow
Read the previous entry again and replace all mentions of Miro with Wardlow.
Only joking, but a lot of the same things could be said for the Undisputed Kingdom brute. Anyone hoping Wardlow busting out from MJF's shadow would create a bonafide main eventer was stopped in their tracks when AEW f*cked around with Wardlow as TNT Champ multiple times before lazily saddling him back up as an enforcer.
It's criminal how badly the promotion botched Wardlow's breakout babyface run. Again, comparisons must be made to a brute like Bron Breakker. That's the sort of slick, believable and straight-ahead work Wardlow should've been doing, but nah - he's better off pummelling goons for Adam Cole and/or Roderick Strong, right?
What a joke. Wardlow should be in the conversation for best AEW creations ever. Instead, he's even less of a big deal than he was when carrying bags for Max. The 'Powerbomb Symphony' has become discordant mess of broken instruments. Now, thanks to Tony Khan, Wardlow is another of his broken toys.
