Wardlow has discussed the original plans for his character when he first debuted in All Elite Wrestling.
The AEW star was first seen in the company at All Out 2019 when a vignette aired to introduce the character.
Speaking with Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports, Wardlow discussed how he was introduced into the promotion.
He said:
“The original plans for my character essentially, still what they are, with just a little altered with the Max thing. It’s still, Wardlow is Wardlow. He’s Ric Flair meets James Bond meets John Wick. Wardlow is always going to be dressed nice, always in a suit, always with a beautiful lady on his arm and whooping ass. That’s what you always expect from Wardlow. Essentially, that’s where we’re at, we just gave Wardlow the role of the bodyguard protecting Max.”

Wardlow has since split from MJF after the Revolution 2022 event in March. The two have been embroiled in a feud ever since and are scheduled to face each other at Double Or Nothing on May 29.
