Unfortunate update on Wardlow ahead of AEW Full Gear 2024 [Reports]

Ahead of AEW Full Gear, a report regarding Wardlow's return to the promotion has come to the fore. AEW is scheduled to host its sixth annual Full Gear event at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday, November 23.

Mr. Mayhem joined AEW in August 2019, aligned with former AEW World Champion MJF, and became his henchman. He is currently a member of Adam Cole's Undisputed Kingdom stable but was last seen in a match in Tony Khan's promotion on the March 13 edition of AEW Dynamite: Big Business, where he failed to capture the AEW World Title from Samoa Joe.

Fightful Select recently provided an update on the former TNT Champion. The outlet noted that Wardlow was still out with an injury, the manner of which has not yet been disclosed.
