Wardlow is ready to shock the world at AEW Revolution.
On Sunday, March 6, Wardlow will be competing in the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match at AEW Revolution. Though the field is not entirely set, the other men currently in the match along with him are Powerhouse Hobbs, Keith Lee, Rick Starks, and Orange Cassidy. The winner of the bout will earn themselves a future TNT Championship opportunity.
During a recent appearance on Wrestling Inc. Daily with Nick Hausman, Wardlow revealed that he was a very big Jeff Hardy fan growing up and as a result has been climbing and jumping off of ladders his whole life. He believes this experience makes him oddly qualified for the upcoming match.
"I am oddly qualified for this match and experiences. I grew up a very big Jeff Hardy fan, so I grew up on ladders. I was in my backyard climbing and jumping off ladders my whole life and I’ve been in a ladder match before that I was victorious and it’s one of my favorite matches that I had on the indies… So I know people don’t expect the big man to be qualified for a ladder match, but I’m – People are going to be surprised how fast I move up that ladder," he said.
There has been speculation about Jeff joining AEW, and he seemed to confirm as much last week when he said during an interview that he was coming to the promotion, though walked back his statement a few days later.
Commenting on the possibility of sharing a locker room with one of his idols, Wardlow said, "It would be absolutely surreal. To be in the same company as Jeff Hardy, absolutely surreal and a dream come true."
AEW President Tony Khan recently said that he would love to have Jeff Hardy in AEW once he is free and clear to do so. Click here to learn more.
