Tony Schiavone interviewed him on the entrance ramp and revealed that Tony Khan confirmed that he was signed to All Elite Wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>Wardlow has been working for MJF since he first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AEW<\/a> Dynamite. He turned on MJF at the AEW Revolution PPV event in March, helping C.M. Punk beat MJF in a Dog Collar Match.<\/p>\n<p>MJF set various roadblocks in front of Wardlow to get to this match including taking 10 lashings and beating Shawn Spears in a steel cage match. He overcame them all and earned the match.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, it was reported that MJF missed an AEW Fan Fest meet and greet event. Reporting indicated he purchased a plane ticket back to New York, but did not take that flight. MJF and Tony Khan have had a falling out regarding his contract status.<\/p>\n<p>MJF got virtually zero offense in throughout the match. He tried to use his ring, but was caught by the referee. Wardlow took over from there and was victorious.<\/p>\n<p>There was no word or mention of the MJF situation during the Double or Nothing broadcast.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/05\/29\/5-29-aew-double-or-nothing-ppv-results-kellers-detailed-report-with-star-ratings-on-hangman-vs-punk-rosa-vs-deeb-hardys-vs-bucks-mjf-vs-wardlow\/\">5\/29 AEW DOUBLE OR NOTHING PPV RESULTS: Keller\u2019s detailed report with star ratings on Hangman vs. Punk, Rosa vs. Deeb, Hardys vs. Bucks, MJF vs. Wardlow<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1552025716\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-92091985\"><div id=\"pwtor-387188156\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Wardlow defeated MJF with a flurry of powerbombs in the opening match of AEW Double or Nothing.
