Kurt Angle had a string of matches in the company leading up to his final match at WrestleMania 35, with the likes of AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Chad Gable, to name a few.
To train and get in shape for these final few matches, Kurt Angle enlisted the help of current AEW star Wardlow, who was wrestling in the independent scene and hadn’t been signed up with AEW yet.

In an appearance on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Wardlow revealed that he was given a tryout by WWE and was certain of being signed up by the company. But, he was shocked to learn that WWE decided not to sign him. He then said that he went on to help Kurt Angle get ready for his final few matches in WWE.
Wardlow eventually was signed by AEW in August 2019 and he debuted on Dynamite in November. He was recently inducted into Chris Jericho’s Inner Circle faction, along with MJF.
