On the December 28 episode of AEW Dynamite, Wardlow not only failed to regain the AEW TNT Championship from Samoa Joe, but he lost a piece of his hair after the bout.
Joe cut off Wardlow's ponytail, adding further humiliation after defeating him. Wardlow was off television for just over a month before returning on the February 1 episode of AEW Dynamite to save Darby Allin from the wrath of Joe.
Speaking to Busted Open about his short hair, Wardlow said, "Initially, I thought I was going to (grow it back), but it might have been a little blessing in disguise because it's been quite the hit with everyone. I'm enjoying it, everyone else seems to like it. I think I'm going to keep the short hair for a while. Eventually, yes, I will grow it all out, but for now I'm going to rock the short hair for a little bit."
Elsewhere during the interview, Wardlow discussed trying to regain the momentum he had after AEW Double or Nothing 2022. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
