Wardlow is definitely one of the more popular homegrown stars in AEW today. With him being the current TNT Champion and on Dynamite regularly, it is likely he will be a World Champion one day.
Mr. Mayhem has been on a roll for the past several months and even became the TNT Champion after defeating Scorpio Sky. Since then, he has been unstoppable as the champion. AEW has been under a lot of trouble in the past couple of months due to the numerous backstage issues prevalent in the company.
While speaking with the ESPR Podcast, Wardlow revealed that AEW’s locker room has only grown closer together due to all the drama.
“Everybody backstage has done such a great job of communicating and we’ve been, honestly through all of the…you said chaos. Fortunately, on the inside, it has made us so much tighter. I feel like since all of that stuff happened, these past couple of months have really changed the locker room. We have some really positive leadership, guys like [Chris] Jericho and [Jon] Moxley and Bryan Danielson. They are true leaders and they are very passionate. They’ve done such a good job of getting the locker room together and on the same page and getting our company on the right track.”
We will have to wait nad see whether AEW will continue to improve their product while still reeling from all the backlash due to their backstage issues.
