Wardlow recently appeared on Excuse Me: The Vickie Guerrero Show and reflected on his run with All Elite Wrestling.
On his first televised match being in the main event of AEW Dynamite:
Wardlow: “My first match, for those that don’t know, my very first televised match was against Cody Rhodes in the main event, in the first-ever Steel Cage match [in AEW history]. And like you literally couldn’t have put any more pressure on me, but that’s when I thrive. I love pressure, I love that feeling and I’ve known that I was ready for TV for a long time.”
“I still have a lot to work on, but at the end of the day, I was ready for TV, and I’ve always felt ready and prepared. And I think I’m right where I belong.”
On possibly joining the Inner Circle:
Wardlow: “As far as my opinion or how I feel about the Inner Circle, I’ve never been one to need a bunch of friends or need to be in a group or whatever. At the end of the day, I’m Max’s guy. Where Max goes, I go.”
“At the end of the day, Chris Jericho’s Chris Jericho. So to be associated with him, I don’t find any negative. I don’t think that there’s any negative that could exist in that situation.”
On a future singles run:
Wardlow: “I’m starving. I am starving. You know, I have a lot of goals. As far as AEW goes as a whole, there’s a lot I want to accomplish.”
“Now that I have my foot in the door and [MJF] has gotten me some singles competition, it’s most definitely lit a fire in me. And like I said, there are a lot of personal goals I have when you know, if the day comes that Max and I, you know, ever go our separate ways.”
