Unfortunate injury news
Added 2025-09-08 17:48:28 +0000 UTCAn AEW star sustained an unfortunate injury at one of the worst possible times.
Fightful Select has learned that Wardlow has sustained an injury almost immediately after returning from a year-plus absence. Sources in AEW that we spoke to said that the injury is feared to be a torn pectoral muscle, which would sideline him for quite some time. There is the possibility he could remain on TV in an enforcer role.
It was suggested that the injury actually took place upon his return angle, but that isn't confirmed. Wardlow had missed about a year with injuries, but was cleared a number of months ago. However, he was held off AEW TV as he had to film the first two seasons of American Gladiators, which has been completed.
A number of talent we spoke to were bummed out about the news after Wardlow had waited so long to get back on TV and battled injuries.
We wish him the best in his recovery.

In some ways, it looks like his AEW career will be a big What If? Not unlike that of Cole. Each has seen injuries, odd things (MJF no selling his loss to Wardlow so he could go home mad) and bad timing.
