Paul Wight has been in the professional wrestling business for decades now and a few years ago he decided to join AEW. Wight has mostly been working as part of the broadcast team in AEW, but he has wrestled sparingly.
At this point Wight hasn’t wrestled an official match on AEW programming since April of 2022. It looks like the end of Wight’s career could be coming sooner than later as he indicated on the Battleground podcast that he will be looking to hang up his boots for good at some point in the next two years or less.
“I got a year and a half, two years left, before I hang it all up. Really, it’s about trying to help this younger talent and then moving on to that commentary role. Then, it’s about the younger talent. Right now, I’m still froggy and want to have fun and play a little bit. I’ve had plenty of matches, have done plenty of tours, had plenty of rivalries. Right now, it’s about doing what I can in helping the product out. There’s a time, all things come to an end, unfortunately.”
At this point it’s not clear when Wight could wrestle again, but some fans seem to think that Chris Jericho teased a potential reunion with his former tag team partner on Dynamite when he said, “I have friends who are bigger than Powerhouse Hobbs. Maybe I should give him a call.”
Stay tuned for updates.
