Huge update on Wardlow just ahead of AEW Double or Nothing 2025

Reports have come in regarding Wardlow's status ahead of AEW Double or Nothing happening in less than an hour from now. He has not been competing in the promotion for more than 14 months now.

The former TNT Champion has not been seen in any capacity for the Jacksonville-based company for more than a year. His last bout was at Dynamite: Big Business in March last year when he challenged Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship. He lost that night, and he was last seen during the week before last year's edition of Double or Nothing, accompanying Undisputed Kingdom.

Fightful Select has just reported that Wardlow is not planned for tonight's show. There was no current news on a timeline for his return or plans for his involvement in a major storyline moving forward.

He continues to be on hiatus, and it would seem that he is also no longer affiliated with the Undisputed Kingdom, which has rebranded to a trio called Paragon, with Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, and Roderick Strong as the only remaining members.

The 37-year-old's booking remains puzzling, and it is unclear how he could be booked once he makes his blockbuster return to the company.

About the author

Enzo is a Pro Wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on AEW. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
