"I just pray he gets the opportunity" - WWE Hall of Famer wants Wardlow to get a push in AEW

AEW is expected to move forward with another push for Wardlow soon. The rising star has many fans and fellow pro wrestlers rooting for his success. The Hall of Famer looking out for Wardlow's push is none other than Mark Henry.

Wardlow debuted not long after AEW launched in 2019, and is now one of their biggest homegrown talents. The three-time TNT Champion has worked with top stars and has been pushed previously, but unfortunately the momentum has always halted for whatever reason.

Mr. Mayhem declared war on the injured MJF, and also recently joined The Undisputed Kingdom on Dynamite, linking up with injured leader Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, and ROH World Tag Team Champions Matt Taven and Mike Bennett.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, AEW's Henry discussed Wardlow and said as a fan, he hoped the push happens.

"There's things that are going to happen naturally and organically with Wardlow. With this attitude, that is going to spawn something. He looked so intense and he sounded so polished and ready for what is necessary for him to be a champion. I just pray he gets the opportunity, because as a wrestling fan, I want to see it now," he said. [H/T - WrestlingInc]

The World's Strongest Man said he wanted to see MJF's former bodyguard in the top spot when he was pushed as a top babyface, but it didn't work out. The recent Dynamite promo reminded Henry that he still wants to see Wardlow make it.

"There ain't many things that I've been excited for over the last couple of weeks. Wardlow's promo made me want to scrap everything and see him lined up against Joe. That's hard to do. I'm just waiting to see him take it now, you've gotta take it. If they're not going to give it, then go take it," he said.
