Paul Wight’s AEW Status Amidst Prolonged Hiatus

Paul Wight has been part of the AEW family for a long time now and hasn’t really been an active competitor whatsoever. It’s been a while since he even appeared on AEW television and now we have confirmed his status with the company.

Paul Wight made his in-ring return on the November 15th episode of AEW Dynamite as part of the Like A Dragon Gaiden Street Fight. He partnered up with Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi and would go on to defeat Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage, Kyle Fletcher and Powerhouse Hobbs.

Wight hit a major chokeslam on Fletcher and then brawled with Powerhouse Hobbs. He would then be taken out of the match early after Hobbs slammed him onto the hood of a car. He would then compete alongside Chris Jericho back in January but hasn’t wrestled since then. In fact, Wight hasn’t even been seen on AEW television in several months at this point.

While speaking on Fightful Select’s Q&A podcast, Sean Ross Sapp was asked about Paul Wight’s status with the company during his hiatus from AEW. Sapp confirmed that Wight is still with the company even now.

“Still technically there.”

Regardless, it remains to be seen what the future holds for The World’s Largest Athlete, as fans want him to compete inside the squared circle one last time or at least just appear on AEW television again.
