It’s been an interesting year for All Elite Wrestling as the company has signed a number of talents including former WWE Champion Paul Wight. Months ago Wight parted ways with WWE months ago and since then he’s been working as a commentator for AEW, but a potential in-ring return has been teased.
Wight has appeared in press photos wearing new ring gear, and he recently explained to WrestleZone that he’s currently focused on reinventing himself for the first time in years.
“The itch is definitely there…..this is the first time in, I don’t know how many years I finally get to reinvent myself a little bit. I’m trying to find updated gear that’s not so much retro, the same gear that we’ve seen me in for years and years and years. Stuff that’s more appealing for toy manufacturing for merchandising and branding, trying to experience all that and just finding a new look that encompasses who Paul Wight is, so it’s a discovery process right now.
I’m driving the photo guys nuts at AEW because I’m trying to find something I like and then change my mind. So, this is the first time in—geez, I don’t know– I guess back in the Dungeon of Doom [days] since I’ve had the chance to really figure out, ‘This is what I’m going to look like, this is how I’m going to perform, this is what I’ll be comfortable performing in.’ So yeah, we’re still experimenting and still having fun, but I think I’ve got it narrowed down now. We’ve got some good options out there for a different look.”
