Wardlow Comments On The Vibe In AEW And Guys Needing To Step Up With Four Top Stars off The TV

AEW was forced to make the changes to the product coming out of AEW All Out due to the injuries and suspension to CM Punk following his AEW World Title win at All Out, and Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson), who won the Trios Championships at All Out. ## Both titles were vacated after an all out and all four men were televised without a return date. ## Speaking on Dynamite Download, Wardlow talked about the vibe in AEW and guys needing to step up with four top stars off the TV. ## "It's more important now more than ever. It was already necessary for me to turn it up, but where we are in the current state of AEW, it is even that much more important to amp it the fuck up. That's just what it is. It's time for everybody to step it up. Everybody that is talking about not having an opportunity, here is your opportunity. ## Here is everyone's chance to step it up. It's time to get back to the day one vibe. When it started, we were a family and we survived COVID like a family. We saw each other more than we saw our families. We're most definitely getting back, literally just this past week, it really felt like that strong bond again. We're on the right track now, it's great," he said. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

AEW Dynamite 9/14/22 Results: MJF Introduces New Stable

MJF has introduced a new stable on AEW Dynamite! ## The September 14th edition of AEW Dynamite kicked off with Jon Moxley defeating Sammy Guevara to advance in the AEW Tournament of Champions final. ## After the match, MJF stormed to the ring and said he’s not the kid who faced Moxley in 2020. He’s not playing a character, Moxley is and he’s a joke. MJF said Moxley built a good character and the fans buy it, but he doesn’t. He knows Moxley is the same scared little boy and will drown his troubles in alcohol like a drunk. ## He also warned Chris Jericho and Bryan Danielson, saying bad things happen when people get in MJF’s way, so stay away from Grand Slam. MJF said when Moxley came back from rehab he had mentioning beating his demons. He warns Moxley that if he doesn’t tread lightly, he’ll be that demon Moxley can’t slay. ## MJF then went on to bring out his best friend since age 19, Stokely Hathaway and The Firm. Hathaway said he told MJF he couldn’t quit AEW, he’d be giving the fans what they want. Hathaway said all of his henchmen are on retainer and whenever MJF doesn’t need them, they’ll go their separate ways. Hathaway said everything he’s done since being in AEW has been strategic. ## From hanging out with Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter, to watching Living Single with the House of Black, which is an image I want to see. Hathaway hugged Morrissey, said Lee Moriarty will bring honor back to the Ring of Honor Pure title, the Gunn Club want tag team gold and Ethan Page wants the All Atlantic title. They are The Firm, either run with them or run from them. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
