Wrestling Veteran Says He Has ‘A Couple Years Left In AEW’

AEW

Paul Wight has opened up about his in-ring future, noting that he has at least ‘a couple of years’ left in AEW.

The wrestling veteran has wrestled a handful of matches for AEW since signing with the company in February 2021.

Wight hasn’t wrestled in almost a year, and has recently been recovering from knee and hip surgeries.

Speaking with Deuce and Mo, Wight noted that he plans to return to the ring and make good on the AEW contract he originally signed.

Stating that his joints are feeling good, Wight said:

“Working hard, training hard to get back in the ring, which will hopefully happen real soon.

“I’ve had a hip replacement and just got a knee replacement done in August, which sounds like the end of an athlete’s career, but modern technology, I’ll tell you, I feel better joint-wise than I’ve felt the past 15 years.

“Now, it’s about getting the muscle stronger and having a bit more fun. I have a couple years left in AEW, for sure, signed a nice healthy contract when I came over and I plan on making good on that contract in AEW for Tony Khan and myself.”

Wight last wrestled at the March 30, 2022 AEW Dark: Elevation taping against Austin Gunn, who is currently one half of the AEW Tag Team Champions.
