I\u2019m not sure if that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do, but I would definitely like to bring that back. Right now I have the original design, which I love, and I don\u2019t have any plans to customize it. If they give me the opportunity, maybe I will, but I do love the original.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, my only goal for the rest of this year is to successfully defend the TNT Championship and make sure that the title is the title in professional wrestling, so by the end of this year it\u2019s the most talked about title in wrestling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wardlow defeated Scorpio Sky on AEW Dynamite to win the TNT Championship. It&#8217;s his first title win in AEW. Wardlow spent the majority of his time in AEW at the side of MJF. Both men feuded and had a match together at the Double or Nothing PPV event in May. Wardlow defeated MJF and became free of his contracted obligations to him. He then officially signed with AEW.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/07\/20\/championship-celebration-added-to-aew-dynamite\/\">Championship celebration added to AEW Dynamite<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4049333109\"><div id=\"pwtor-507500965\"><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>Current All Elite Wrestling TNT Champion, Wardlow, is in favor of bringing back the standing open challenge for his title.
