— [Mar 23, 01:57] Wardlow Reportedly Backstage At AEW Revolution (411mania)AEW star Wardlow was spotted backstage at a recent PPV and has not been scheduled to return due to an undisclosed status following injuries sustained during August's comeback season, which also sidelined him from filming two seasons of the American Gladiators reboot in early 2025.
Wardlow was spotted backstage at an undisclosed role during March 15, 2026 AEW Revolution in Los Angeles without appearing on television or competing since his last match against Samoa Joe on March 13, 2024. His extended absence is attributed to a torn pectoral muscle sustained after returning from injury and aligning with the Don Callis Family at an August 25 event that occurred prior to this appearance in late February of next year (assuming "next" refers forward).
