Paul Wight Addresses AEW Status Amid TV Absence

AEW

Multi-time former WWE Champion Paul Wight has addressed his AEW status amid his absence from television.

Since joining All Elite Wrestling in 2021 Paul Wight has performed as in-ring competitor, color commentator and authority figure on the Ring of Honor brand.

However, with his TV appearances being few and far in recent years, fans have often speculated regarding his status and future with Tony Khan’s company.

Speaking with Bill Apter on Sportskeeda’s WrestleBinge, Wight was asked whether he was still with AEW, to which he said:

“I am still with AEW, still very happy with AEW, very happy with Tony Khan and what he’s doing…”

Wight would then praise Tony Khan’s leadership further, sharing his appreciation for AEW at this stage of his career:

“…I appreciate Tony and the way he treats talent, and the kind of liberty that Tony gives talent to discover themselves and find themselves.

“It’s not a cookie cutter process in AEW, they’re not saying ‘This is your ring entrance, this is how you pose, this is what you wear’. AEW is very grassroots, authentic and for me at this stage of the game I appreciate that.”

Wight last competed on AEW television during the Like A Dragon Garden Street Fight in November 2023, but was more recently seen during the Full Gear 2024 Zero Hour, making a cameo during Big Boom AJ’s match with QT Marshall.
