Wardlow was present backstage at AEW Revolution 2026 on March 15, though there are currently no confirmed plans for his return to in-ring action.
According to Fightful Select, Wardlow attended the event as a visitor and was not scheduled to appear on the show. At this time, there is no word on whether he has been medically cleared or if AEW has set a timetable for his comeback.
Wardlow has been sidelined since suffering a torn pectoral muscle during his return at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025. The injury occurred when he delivered a lariat to Prince Nana during a post-match attack involving Swerve Strickland. The setback forced AEW to scrap creative plans that would have seen him involved in a major storyline alongside Hangman Page and Kyle Fletcher heading into All Out.
The injury marked another difficult chapter in Wardlow’s recent career. Prior to Forbidden Door, he had already been out of action since March 2024 due to a labrum injury, which was further complicated by a car accident. The torn pectoral muscle added to what has been a lengthy period away from AEW programming.
During his time off, Wardlow remained active outside the ring. In the summer of 2025, he traveled to France to film the revival of American Gladiators for Amazon Prime Video. He appears as one of the featured gladiators on the show, which is hosted by The Miz and includes cast members such as Rick Boogs, Kamille, and Jessie Godderz. The series is scheduled to premiere on April 17, 2026.
A three-time TNT Champion, Wardlow remains one of AEW’s most physically dominant talents. While his backstage appearance at Revolution is a positive sign, there is still no official word on when he will return to action.
