Absent AEW wrestler reportedly in town for Double or Nothing
AEW Double or Nothing is just a few hours away, and Wardlow is reportedly set to be present in town for that.
Double or Nothing PPV is scheduled to take place on May 24, 2026, at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. And according to Fightful Select, former three-time AEW TNT Champion Wardlow is in town. However, it is not known if he’s scheduled to make an appearance at the PPV or not.
He last returned at the 2025 AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door PPV in London, UK. However, a few weeks after his return, it was reported that the 38-year-old was injured again and had sustained a torn pectoral muscle injury.
Despite his absence from wrestling, Wardlow has been active on television. Amid his injury, he filmed the American Gladiators reboot, which airs on Amazon Prime. Wardlow had also fully torn his left bicep ahead of filming for American Gladiators, but chose not to undergo surgery and instead wore a sleeve during filming.
Also, according to sources close to Fightful Select, it was noted that Wardlow has been present at a lot of shows while he works on his return. With several recent frequent injuries, Wardlow’s last match dates back to March 2024.
