Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently shared his opinion that AEW star Wardlow is not ready to be a world champion.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell expressed his thoughts on not seeing Wardlow with the AEW World Title around his waist:

"He is not ready. Wardlow isn't ready to be a world champion. Not at all. You could kill Wardlow but make him the new champion." (30.55-31.17)

Dutch Mantell wants Bryan Danielson vs. Jon Moxley for the interim AEW World Championship match

CM Punk's unfortunate injury has led to the announcement that an interim AEW World Champion will be crowned. The first stage of the process begins with a battle royal on next week's Dynamite. The winner will face Jon Moxley, the new #1 contender. The subsequent winner will compete with a mystery opponent in the interim AEW World Championship Match at Forbidden Door pay-per-view.

Dutch Mantell shared his two cents about wanting to see Bryan Danielson collide with Jon Moxley for the world title:

"I like Danielson. Him and Moxley were involved in a feud not long ago. They are in the same stable now and hence that would be great. Tony Khan has a lot of ways out of this. Unique and creative ways." (31.20-32.00)

The AEW roster boasts numerous main-event caliber wrestlers who are ready to prove their mettle in the world title scene. It will be interesting to see where the road to determining the interim title holder leads.
