Wardlow valuing the TNT Championship builds value for the audience. Long gone are the days where the IC Champion actually came just behind the World Champion, and AEW has attempted to build the TNT to that level. Not successfully but it's worked at time. Wardlow is a guy you can really build up with the secondary championship. After a long run everyone will say "when is it time for Wardlow to get the big one"?
I guess you think he's ready for that now but he isn't. AEW main events have to deliver big time, that's the culture that's been built at least. Wardlow has to build up something a lot more special to get that spot. He's headed there, and even in the ring shows that he could one day hang with the likes of Omega, Mox, Jericho and Hangman but he's not quite there yet. Leave him with a strong gimmick and the TNT and see what happens over the rest of the year.
MJF though, he's ready for that spot.
