While WWE has been making headlines left and right with Dwayne Johnson rumors and Royal Rumble performances, AEW is also climbing its way up. While not as big as WWE in any way, the company is building from the ground up.
In the start, every news that came out of AEW was about another ex-WWE wrestler joining the company, but now they have homegrown talent-making news. This homegrown talent is none other than Wardlow.

This isn’t the first time that people have compared Wardlow to early WWE Batista. Even the man himself talked about the former World Champ being a big influence on his career.
Looking like 2005 Batista.
