During this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, Arn Anderson returned as Wardlow’s manager. Anderson revealed during a backstage segment that he and Wardlow will be playing chess.
In the final segment of the first hour, Wardlow challenged Powerhouse Hobbs for the TNT Championship.
It was a back-and-forth match, and QT Marshall attempted to intervene near the end. After Anderson took out Hobbs with a DDT, Wardlow pinned Hobbs with the powerbomb symphony to become a three-time TNT champion.
After the match, Christian Cage and Luchasaurus appeared on the stage.
