It’s been a while since fans have seen Paul Wight wrestle as he last competed on AEW programming in November of 2023, and last stepped into the ring on the Jericho Cruise in January of 2024. However, his in-ring career is not over as the former WWE Champion recently indicated he’s hopeful he’ll be able to wrestle again at some point.
During a recent appearance on Under The Mat With Simon Miller, Paul Wight discussed potential dream opponents for him in AEW, and he made it clear that he would love to work with Kenny Omega and Darby Allin.
“So, when I look at our AEW roster, even though he’s not a younger cat, he’s still somebody that I’ve had respect for a long time – Kenny Omega. I think Kenny is one I would think ‘Man, I would love to either tag with Kenny or to compete against Kenny.’
I would love to have a great heel run and work Darby. I mean, that would be ridiculous. Cause I could sling Darby’s guts all over the place. Even the old school one where I slammed Rey (Mysterio) into the ring post when he was tied to the stretcher. I can only imagine the carnage I could do with Darby.”
