‘Mr. Mayhem’ has been poised on the precipice of a breakout moment for quite some time when it comes to his relationship with the man AEW audiences love to hate, ‘The Salt Of The Earth’ MJF and his Pinnacle faction.

While there was a tease of just such a betrayal occurring on that fateful night in Chicago several weeks ago, Wardlow stayed true to MJF, helping his boss to come out on top during his contest with CM Punk, much to the surprise and chagrin of flabbergasted fans across the globe.

What is evident though is with each passing week, Wardlow’s tolerance for his boss and his ‘accountabilibuddy’ Shawn Spears (who has been scoring a ‘Perfect Ten’ in his role as MJF’s chair-happy henchmen) dwindles that much further.

When the inevitable turn finally occurs, Wardlow’s stock can only rise.

The maestro of the Power Bomb Symphony has been devouring opponents left and right since his arrival in AEW, and for someone with his aura and presentation, this young star seems destined for greatness.
