10 AEW Wrestlers Who Will Be World Champion One Day
7. Wardlow
Wardlow has had quite the introduction into All Elite Wrestling. Coming in to be MJF's enfrocer, his a run in the World Title Eliminator tournament has helped elevate his stock.
Even in his losses he's been protected well. It took a moonsault off the top of a steel cage for Cody to defeat Wardlow and it took multiple Buckshot Lariats for 'Hangman' Adam Page to take him out of the tournament. Things like that may not seem like a lot to some, but it's those subtle things that help show his dominance. Eventually he will break ties with MJF & now the rest of the Inner Circle to help get him over as a singles star, but until then expect him to make his presence felt when he is in the ring.
Truthfully, defeating Maxwell Friedman to be the World Champion is the best course of action. Watching MJF trying to squirm out of the match and eventually get what's coming to him by the guy he introduced to the AEW audience is the kind of poetic justice this company has been known to serve up.
