Paul Wight joined All Elite Wrestling in February 2021 where he has worked as an in-ring talent and commentator. He has only wrestled four times in AEW due to injuries. The former Big Show underwent knee replacement surgery in August.
Appearing on the Deuce and Mo podcast, Wight revealed that he plans to be back in the ring “real soon.” He 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.”
