Wardlow has named his number one priority for his AEW TNT Championship reign.
The powerhouse defeated Scorpio Sky to win the title on the July 6 edition of Dynamite.
Speaking with Telegram & Gazette, Wardlow expressed interest in bringing back the TNT Title open challenge, introduced by Cody Rhodes during his first reign with the gold.
Noting that he wants the TNT Championship to be viewed as THE title in wrestling,Wardlow said:
“That’s actually my number one priority. I want to bring back the open challenge.
“I’m not sure if that’s what we’re going to do but I would definitely like to bring that back. Right now I have the original design, which I love, and I don’t have any plans to customize it. If they give me the opportunity, maybe I will, but I do love the original.
“Honestly, my only goal for the rest of this year is to successfully defend the TNT Championship and make sure that the title is the title in professional wrestling, so by the end of this year it’s the most talked about title in wrestling.”
Wardlow most recently defended his gold against Orange Cassidy on the July 13 edition of AEW Dynamite: Fyter Fest.
