AEW Star Talks Retirement Amid Return Tease On Dynamite

AEW

A current AEW name has speculated that sometime in the next year or two he will ‘hang it all up’. Find out who is teasing retirement.

Speaking to the Battleground Podcast, Paul Wight discussed his future in the business, including having a timeframe in mind to ‘hang it all up’.

Wight said:

“I got a year and a half, two years left, before I hang it all up. Really, it’s about trying to help this younger talent and then moving on to that commentary role. Then, it’s about the younger talent.

“Right now, I’m still froggy and want to have fun and play a little bit.

“I’ve had plenty of matches, have done plenty of tours, had plenty of rivalries. Right now, it’s about doing what I can in helping the product out.

“There’s a time, all things come to an end, unfortunately.”

The comments come to light after a tease that perhaps Wight could be making an in-ring return on AEW Dynamite.

In an interview segment with Renee Paquette on last night’s AEW Dynamite (October 26), Chris Jericho spoke about the recent attack on him by Powerhouse Hobbs.

Mentioning that while Don Callis may have a lot of family members, Jericho has a lot of friends, including some that are even bigger than Powerhouse Hobbs.

Jericho teasing perhaps it is time for him to make a call… could it be a Jerishow reunion? It wasn’t confirmed, but Big Show sure is bigger than Powerhouse Hobbs!

Chris Jericho and the Big Show – now AEW’s Paul Wight – were a delightfully heelish WWE tag team who were Tag Team Champions in 2009 and 2010.

With Wight’s comment that he’s still feeling ‘froggy’ perhaps we really will see a Jerishow reunion in AEW.
