Wardlow is planning to bring the respect he feels the TNT championship deserves after this weekend’s PPV.
Wardlow is currently set to team with FTR to take on Jay Lethal and The Motor City Machine Guns at the PPV. Speaking to Stephanie Chase, Wardlow explained his goals following AEW All Out.
“My focus is All Out right now, I haven’t really thought past that. Thinking about it, after All Out, I told fans I wanted to bring some respect back to the TNT Title. The fact that it’s in my possession, the respect level is already up. The fact that Wardlow is the TNT Champion makes the TNT Championship important. Realistically, I haven’t done anything to really say that I’ve done that. I would like to…beating Jay Lethal is a huge accomplishment, I feel he’s one of the best wrestlers in the world. That I feel is important and an accomplishment. Beyond that, I haven’t done anything since being TNT champ. I’m ready for some real competition. Yeah, I’ll go in the ring and powerbomb somebody ten times, put my foot on their chest, and pin them, but guess what I’ll go in there and work with whoever thinks they are the hardest worker. Step in the ring with me. I’m not just squash matches. I can perform. I’m ready to show that,”
