Wardlow will finally get his rematch for the TNT Championship.
Ahead of AEW Full Gear, Samoa Joe turned on his WardJoe partner, who was the reigning TNT Champion at the time. This betrayal set the stage for a three-way bout, which also included Powerhouse Hobbs, at the pay-per-view, and Joe won the gold. Joe scored the victory by putting Hobbs in the Coquina Clutch, so Wardlow has been determined to get a rematch because he wasn't directly defeated.
"Mr. Mayhem" has been targeting Joe in recent weeks, and he called "The King of Television" out on the Decemver 16 episode of AEW Rampage. Perhaps feeling generous in the spirit of Christmas, Joe agreed to put his title on the line against Wardlow on the December 28 episode of AEW Dynamite, which will be the New Year's Smash show.
