Sitting around in catering isn't cutting it for this current AEW wrestler.

AEW star Wardlow has admitted he's currently "very depressed" about his standing in the company, and isn't thrilled about being kept off television since dropping the TNT Title to Luchasaurus in June.

Wardlow told reporters at Terrificon 2023 that fellow stragglers like Danhausen and Ethan Page (who were both on stage with him) "would agree" that it sucks to be sitting around waiting for your next opportunity like this. The popular babyface then went on to describe wrestling as "everything" to him.

That's why his current plight stings so much.

Most fans would agree that Tony Khan has fudged Wardlow's push on multiple occasions since he broke free from MJF and became a babyface sensation. He's had several title reigns with the TNT belt, but each one has ended on a low note (or suddenly).

Now, Wardlow just wants to regain some sort of consistency and become a key part of things on Dynamite, Collision and AEW pay-per-view again. He said Terrificon was "the first time in months" he'd felt like himself, so he's thankful to fans that came out for the convention to ask him some questions.
