Wardlow is definitely one of the more popular homegrown stars in AEW today. He was the TNT Champion for a long time and became a fan-favorite. In fact, Tony Khan also sees big things in Mr. Mayhem.
Wardlow has beaten numerous top stars in AEW so far. Due to his near-limitless potential, many believe that he is certainly destined for greatness. This especially means becoming a big deal in the pro wrestling world.
While speaking on AEW Unrestricted, AEW President Tony Khan stated that he believes Wardlow’s could become the future of pro wrestling.
I believe Wardlow probably, in many ways, has a good a chance to be the future of pro wrestling as anybody,” Khan said. “He’s someone we really see as a star for the future here, and is a homegrown star.”
Wardlow lost the TNT Championship at AEW Full Gear. We will have to wait and see whether Tony Khan’s prediction will turn out to be true in the end.
