Backstage News On Paul Wight's AEW Return
'No More BS' Paul Wight, the former Big Show, is stepping back into an AEW ring.
AEW paid off several weeks' of Chris Jericho teases by bringing Paul Wight back onto television last night, installing the former Big Show as Jericho, Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi's partner for a 15 November Street Fight.
Fightful Select reported before Wight's Dynamite appearance that 'No More BS' was to be unveiled as Jericho's mystery partner. The outlet noted, too, that Wight was once discussed for a match involving fellow giant Satnam Singh at August's All In pay-per-view, though this didn't happen. Instead, Wight and Singh were involved in a pre-show angle featuring Anthony Ogogo, Grado, Jeff Jarrett, and the rest of Singh's allied crew.
Interestingly, Fightful noted a working plan for Wight to return for a match on the 18 November Full Gear 2023 pay-per-view.
AEW announced Wight, Jericho, Omega and Ibushi vs, the Don Callis Family's Powerhouse Hobbs, Kyle Fletcher, Konosuke Takeshita, and Will Ospreay for the 15 November Dynamite last night.
Wight hasn't wrestled since an AEW Dark: Elevation taping on 30 March 2022. Outwith AEW's old YouTube series, his last bout came at All Out 2021 (September), when he squashed QT Marshall.
