Wardlow will return to AEW after more than a year on the sidelines with a teaser during All Out 2026.
Wardlow has not appeared in AEW since he actually returned to the company for the first time in over a year in Forbidden Door 2025. He was returning to the Don Kalis family after suffering a knee injury in March 2024 following a world title match with Samoa Joe. But on his return, he later suffered a torn pectoral and was never even given a chance to get in the ring for the match.
While there’s no word on when, Wardlow is said to be back soon. It’s also unknown if he’ll be back as a part of DCF just yet, though he seemed to be aiming for the look he had during his history with MJF.
WARDLOW’S RETURN IS ON!
