Wardlow shocked fans with a surprise return at AEW Forbidden Door 2025. The former TNT Champion was last seen at AEW Dynamite’s “Big Business” special on March 13, 2024, where he lost a world title bout to Samoa Joe.

AEW “Forbidden Door” was the first AEW PPV in a while that didn’t live up to or surpass my expectations.

The 2025 edition of AEW Forbidden Door is officially in the history books as AEW headed to the O2 Arena in London, England for its third PPV in the UK. With a record-breaking sold out crowd, the atmosphere was hot for yet another strong PPV in what is a very consistent year for the company in terms of big show quality.
