Wardlow is preparing for Matt Taven.
Wardlow was a guest on Friday's Busted Open Radio and the subject was horror films. During the discussion, Wardlow was asked who in AEW would make for a good horror villain. He couldn't give an answer, but when asked if he had seen the TV show "You" about a loving killer, Wardlow replied, "I have girls chained up in my bedroom, but no one in my basement."
Where the Wardhoes at?
Wardlow is set to defend his AEW TNT Championship on AEW Rampage against Matt Taven. Moving away from the horror film discussion, Wardlow did comment on his title bout and how he prepares.
"The night before, I do usually spend with a beautiful woman to keep my mind off of things and I wake up in the proper headspace. I'm thinking about everything other than my opponent, essentially. I do some serious training. I'm always doing serious training. When people ask me, 'How do you prep for this match?' I prep for the biggest match of my life every week of my life. That's why I am who I am and why I'll be where I'm going. I live a little differently. I treat every gym session like I'm preparing for the biggest pay-per-view title match of my life. That's what is going to get me to that moment. Usually, the night before, I like to have a good dinner, be with a beautiful woman, wake up clear-minded, and I'm about to eat the biggest breakfast. I eat a monster breakfast on the day of a show. Then I'm going to eat Matt Taven alive. It's just another match. We know how this goes. You know what you're getting with Wardlow. I'm going to beat the shit out of him, powerbomb him multiple times, and I'm going to win. If Mike (Bennett) and his little girlfriend [Maria Kanellis] want to get involved, I'll take them too," he said.
When it was clarified to him that Mike and Maria are actually married, Wardlow replied, "Wouldn't be the first woman with a ring....." before trailing off or having connection issues.
