10 New Directions For AEW After Revolution 2023
8. Wardlow’s Super-Short Reign?
Did anyone else catch Excalibur's sneaky line when Wardlow was holding that TNT Title aloft? The masked announcer said that the big guy could actually have the shortest TNT reign yet, and hyped his upcoming battle vs. Powerhouse Hobbs on this Wednesday's episode of Dynamite.
Keep an eye on that one.
Would Tony Khan really do this to Wardlow right after righting the wrong of his original TNT loss to Samoa Joe last November? Revolution was a step in the right direction for MJF's old bodyguard, but it could be a short-lived success for Wardlow - Hobbs might get the nod on the flagship.
Being brutally honest, AEW has backed themselves into a corner with this match. Powerhouse won the 'Face Of The Revolution' ladder scrap, and clearly needs wins to establish himself as a possible headliner in the future. Meanwhile, Wardlow has been struggling to regain his mojo.
Prediction: Khan goes through with a Powerhouse victory and title change.
