AEW Star Backstage ‘Frustrations’ Ahead Of Imminent Departure Revealed

AEW

QT Marshall announced his resignation from his role in AEW on November 28 and details of his frustrations with the company have emerged.

Marshall announced his resignation in a post on Twitter, thanking AEW and Tony Khan noting that the ‘company has changed’ since he started on day one in 2019.

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke about the frustrations that Marshall has expressed, saying:

“I have heard from many, many people, some of whom did not know that this was happening, and most of whom did, so it was not a secret. Some have known for weeks, some have known for months.

“People have talked to him. He’s expressed his frustrations. There have been things that have happened.

“QT had a very well-paying job, he was a Vice President of creative and talent. He’s no longer doing the formats, but he did those for years. I think there’s a lot of things that have been said.

“One thing with QT, and it’s a big one – QT wants to be a wrestling star. And it wasn’t gonna happen in AEW. I know he expressed frustration to a lot of people about that – feeling he’s had good matches but he’s not been positioned to be a wrestling star there.

“Of everyone that I heard from, not one had anything bad to say about QT. And most were sympathetic towards him. A lot of talent tweeted it, but a lot of talent privately, very supportive of QT and understanding his position.”
