Samoa Joe can call himself the ‘King of Television’ all he wants, but it won’t help him avoid the challenge of Wardlow for much longer. Tonight, Wardlow looks to send a message to the TNT Champion – as he goes one on one with Exodus Prime.
Wardlow Claims Another Victim With The Powerbomb Symphony, The King of Television Speaks
Prime is making his AEW debut, and after the upset win from Action Andretti – anything is possible. Wardlow would absorb a headbutt from Prime and nail one of his own. Wind up lariat would follow, before the Powerbomb Symphony would begin.
Prime took the first powerbomb, and a second was not far behind. Wardlow would hit a third, before finally finishing the match with a fourth. Prime didn’t stand a chance, and Wardlow would ask for a microphone.
Samoa Joe claimed Wardlow had to wait his turn, but Wardlow is ready to fight. Joe was asked to come and fight, but you don’t demand the King of Television to do anything. Wardlow got the date – and it will be December 28th. The King has spoken, and Wardlow gets a late Christmas present.
