Backstage Status Update on Wardlow, When He Will Return to the Ring

AEW star and former TNT Champion Wardlow has not wrestled in AEW since April 2024. He briefly appeared and returned to TV at Forbidden Door last year, but he suffered a pec injury and was sidelined yet again. During the latest Fightful Select Answers Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp answered a fan question regarding Wardlow’s status.

According to Sapp, he hasn’t heard yet that Wardlow has been cleared to return to the ring, but he did note that Wardlow is “getting closer” to that time frame. Additionally, Sapp said that the wrestler had also been backstage at Dynamite in recent months.

Wardlow was reportedly backstage at the AEW Double or Nothing and Revolution events earlier this year as well. Before suffering his latest injury, the former TNT Champion filmed two seasons of Prime Video’s new American Gladiators reboot. The first season debuted last May.
