Paul Wight is grateful about working for AEW

A few months back in an interview, Paul Wight revealed that he was pleased to be a part of AEW, where he gets to nurture and guide new talent. He went as far as to say it was one of the best things that happened in his decades-spanning career:

“It’s been fantastic. I was blessed to work for a big company for a lot of years all over the world. Now at my stage of the game, to find myself useful in a company that allows me to spread a lot of my knowledge to the younger talent, get a chance to get on the microphone every now and then and enhance them, help their characters along, and then get in the ring and mix it up. It’s probably the single greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. I’m blessed, grateful, and thankful for the fans that still like to see me do my thing," he said.

With age not being on his side, it remains to be seen if Paul Wight ever steps back inside the squared circle or if we have already seen the last of him in the ring.
