Former WWE giant reportedly remains under contract
Summary
– Paul Wight reportedly signed a new deal to remain with AEW
– His previous contract was believed to be expiring earlier this year
– The length of Wight’s new AEW agreement has not been revealed
Paul Wight is reportedly staying with AEW after quietly agreeing to a new deal.
According to Fightful Select, Wight’s AEW contract was set to expire earlier this year. AEW sources now believe he has signed a fresh agreement to remain with the company.
There is no confirmed word yet on how long the new contract runs. The belief internally is that Wight remains under contract and is not leaving AEW at this time.
Wight has not been a regular presence on AEW television recently, but he has worked in several roles since joining the company in 2021. His AEW run has included commentary, interviews, backstage work, special appearances, and occasional matches.
The former Big Show previously said he wanted to spend the final years of his wrestling career in AEW. While he has not ruled out wrestling again, there have been few signs of a major in-ring return.
For now, AEW is keeping Wight around as an experienced veteran presence. His future role remains unclear, but the new deal suggests the company still values what he brings behind the scenes and on camera.
