Paul Wight has been with AEW for a considerable period but has not been actively competing. It has been some time since he was last seen on AEW television, but that changed after ROH this week and now his new role has been revealed.

Paul Wight returned to in-ring action on the November 15th episode of AEW Dynamite during the Like A Dragon Gaiden Street Fight but was written off AEW television after the match. Wight later teamed with Chris Jericho in January but has not wrestled since.

Paul Wight then confirmed that he had both of his knees and hips replaced and was training for a return. Naturally, fans wondered when the World’s Largest Athlete would come back.

This week on Ring of Honor’s television show, it was officially announced that Paul Wight has been appointed to the Ring of Honor Board of Directors. In his new role, Wight wasted no time in making a major match official for the upcoming ROH Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view.

Wight revealed that the Undisputed Kingdom, consisting of Matt Taven and Mike Bennett, will defend their ROH Tag Team Championship against Kyle O’Reilly and Tomohiro Ishii at the event.

Regardless, it is good to see that Paul Wight is back on television again and Tony Khan has a plan for him, so we’ll have to wait and see how his role as ROH Board of Directors will turn out.
