Paul Wight Comments on Future of His AEW In-Ring Career

A recent episode of The Deuce & Ma podcast had Paul Wight as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Wight’s thoughts on the future of his in-ring career in AEW.

“Working hard, training hard to get back in the ring, which will hopefully happen real soon. I’ve had a hip replacement and just got a knee replacement done in August, which sounds like the end of an athlete’s career, but modern technology, I’ll tell you, I feel better joint-wise than I’ve felt the past 15 years. Now, it’s about getting the muscle stronger and having a bit more fun. I have a couple years left in AEW, for sure, signed a nice healthy contract when I came over and I plan on making good on that contract in AEW for Tony Khan and myself.”
