AEW aired a vignette hyping Wardlow’s return to the promotion during All Out 2026, held on September 26, 2026, at NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The video package followed the conclusion of the Three-way ladder match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship, but the promotion did not provide a confirmed date for when Wardlow will be back in the ring.
Wardlow has not appeared on AEW programming since August 24, 2025, when he returned at Forbidden Door and joined The Don Callis Family. Before that, his last televised match had come in March 2024, when he challenged Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship. It was revealed after that match that Wardlow had suffered a knee injury, which kept him out of action for an extended period.
The vignette’s airing at All Out 2026 suggests Wardlow’s in-ring comeback is drawing closer, though AEW has yet to announce specifics on his next appearance or opponent.
