Wardlow wants to show the world what he’s really made of.
Speaking with Stephanie Chase of Digital Spy, Wardlow spoke about his TNT Championship reign and how he previously said he wanted to restore honor to the title. Wardlow says it’s still important just by him holding the title, but now he wants to face off with real competition.
“I told the fans I wanted to bring some respect back to the TNT title,” Wardlow said. “I think, just the fact that it’s in my possession, the respect level’s already up, the fact that Wardlow is the TNT champion makes the TNT Championship important.But realistically, I haven’t done anything to really say that I’ve done that. So beating Jay Lethal I think is a huge accomplishment, he’s one of the best wrestlers in the world so that feels important, that I feel is an accomplishment.
“But beyond that I haven’t done anything since being TNT champion and I’m ready for some real competition. Like yeah, I’ll go in the ring, powerbomb somebody 10 times, put my foot on their chest and pin them,” he continued. “But guess what? I’ll go in there and I’ll work with whoever thinks they’re the hardest worker. You step in the ring with me, I’m not just squash matches, I can perform. So I’m ready to show that.”
Wardlow will team up with FTR against Jay Lethal and the Motor City Machine Guns at AEW All Out on Sunday. To date, he’s defended the TNT Championship three times since winning the title in July.
