Wardlows run with AEW hit another roadblock, and this time it may have derailed one of the companys pay-per-views.
The powerhouse, who aligned himself with the Don Callis Family at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, suffered an injury that has sidelined him for what could be the better part of a yearand it looks like AEW WrestleDream took the hit.
According to Fightful Select, WrestleDream booking had to be changed because of Wardlows absence. While AEW hasnt confirmed whether he was originally set for an AEW World Title match against Hangman Page, sources say the injury clearly altered what the company had in mind.
Wardlow is expected to miss six to eight months, possibly longer, making his absence a major blow for both AEW and fans who saw him as one of the promotions rising stars. His time with the Don Callis Family seemed like the start of a new chapter, but now those plans are stuck on hold.
Whether or not his return will reconnect him with the Callis Family storyline remains to be seen, but whats clear is that AEW will have a tough decision to make when hes finally cleared. With his career momentum stalled, his comeback could either be the reset he needs or another missed opportunity.
Do you think AEW should give Wardlow the major push he missed out on once he returns? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
