Another former WWE superstar is gearing up for his in-ring return. However, he doesn’t plan to do it in familiar territory. The Jacksonville-based promotion is filled with pro wrestling stars who have worked with the sports entertainment juggernaut at some point in their life. At next week’s edition of Wednesday Night Dynamite, once again an ex-WWE employee will return to the AEW ring.

The superstar we are talking about is Paul Wight (who gained popularity as Big Show in the Stamford-based promotion.) While this should have been a piece of exciting news for the fans, the wrestling universe did not take kindly to the announcement.

Paul Wight to team up with Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi on 11/15 Dynamite

Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega have been beefing with The Don Callis family for quite some time now. This week on Dynamite, Callis challenged The Golden Jets for a Street Fight match. Since Callis’ team has the numbers advantage, Jericho and Omega called for some backup for next week.

Omega revealed that Kota Ibushi will be partnering with them for the match next week. Jericho also introduced White as their other partner for the Street Fight Match on 11/15 Dynamite. Wight has been a part of AEW for almost three years. However, his in-ring appearances have come sporadically.

Is Wight too old to fight anymore?

In January 2021, Wight parted ways with WWE. He cited creative frustrations as the reasons for his departure from the company. In February 2021, he signed a contract with AEW. He has not had many fights since he arrived on the promotion. But AEW is looking to change it.

Next week’s Dynamite episode will mark his in-ring return in AEW. Opposite to what Tony Khan must have desired, he failed miserably to impress the audience with this move. The fans even trolled him on X.

Some users chastised AEW for not showing ambition through their latest move.

Has Tony Khan really turned desperate?

The wrestling universe is not interested in seeing Wight wrestle again. In his prime days, he was a major attraction. But since his depleting age, the wrestling crowd has also started losing interest in him.

Only time will tell if Khan can utilize Wight’s potential to drive more attention to his product like WWE did in the past years. Wight had some memorable storylines in The Stamford-based promotion. What do you think about his in-ring return next week? Let us know in the comments below.
