Wardlow Elaborates On Recent Changes To His Character In AEW

Wardlow continued to show a new side to his personality on this week’s AEW Dynamite.

The former TNT Champion appears to have his sights set on former ally MJF.

During a recent interview with Sports Nightly, the AEW star explained why he went through the crowd during his recent return, noting he doesn’t want to have to interact with anyone backstage.

“The reason I went through the crowd is honestly because I don’t want to see anybody backstage,” he said. “I’ve sat at home for four months pissed off, which is also why you saw me powerbomb somebody, I don’t even know if it lasted a minute, I was throwing those throwing those powerbombs a little stiffer than usual. Like I said, I have four months of anger, built up four months of not being able to do what I love.”

He continued, “Four months of not being able to get out that physicality. You know I’m a bit of a psychotic man. I have a lot going on up here, and I release it physically — I can only do so much in the gym. That only gives me so much relief. What really does it is hurting people in a wrestling ring. That’s what I enjoy, so I’ve been very angry for four months, so this is how I’m going to go about things. I’m going to show up to the building as late as humanly possible because I have no interest in seeing or speaking to anyone. So, I’m going to show up, I’m gonna lace my boots up, I’m gonna walk out there, I am going to destroy whoever they put in that ring with me — I hope they pay them extra — and I’m going to leave out through the crowd. I’m gonna get in my black SUV. I’m gonna go back to the hotel, and I’m going to continue to do that until some wrongs have been corrected and turned right until I get the things I want to get.”
