With no offseason in wrestling, wrestlers are typically working through some type of injury.
Some injuries are bad enough to keep a wrestler sidelined for weeks or months while others are nagging things that can be worked through with rest, relaxation, and rehab taking place on off days.
Wardlow has often spoken about his workout regime and how he's always in the gym to ensure he looks good year-round. Part of his training is learning to work through injuries.
"I'm wrestling year-round with injuries. I got in trouble with Doc [Doc Sampson] one time because I didn't tell anybody about a torn calf that blew out doing sprints because I was getting prepared for Blood and Guts and I wasn't going to miss that match for nothing. I hid it and wrestled with a completely torn calf. I have tears in my knee, my shoulders, I'm a mess, but we love it and this is what we do," Wardlow said on Athletes and the Arts.
Wardlow competed in the first Blood & Guts match on May 5, 2021 when he teamed with The Pinnacle (MJF, Shawn Spears, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) to defeat The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz).
Wardlow is currently set to team with FTR (Dax & Cash) to face Jay Lethal and the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) at AEW All Out. Fans can check out the current lineup for AEW All Out by clicking here.
