4. Wardlow Keeps On Delivering

It's great, this Wardlow Powerbombing Jobbers bit, and it's really catching on with AEW crowds now, with last night's responding more positively to it than any other up to this point.

Wardlow's pumping of Antonio Zambrano was preceded by Shawn Spears hitting the enhancement talent with a C4 for screwing around on the outside. Firmly fed up of Spears and his bulsh*t, Wardlow scowled at first, then smiled, running through the Powerbomb routine with five repetitions this time, cementing his dominance with another win.

Spears spent this time calling for economy on the outside. Afterwards, he celebrated enthusiastically, going for a high-five that Wardlow didn't return on their way up the ramp.

This continues to be a strong contrast of characters and styles en route to the inevitable Wardlow face turn. He's in a great spot at the moment - and getting over too.
