Former WWE Champion and now part of AEW, Paul Wight (formerly known as Big Show), has transitioned his role to analyst and commentator since joining All Elite Wrestling in early 2021. Although he hasn’t stepped into the ring for a match since March of the previous year, Wight’s wrestling dreams are alive and well.

During a conversation with DAZN Wrestling, he was asked to name the headliner for the upcoming AEW All-In pay-per-view. Amid a sea of potential dream match-ups, Wight took an unexpected turn by suggesting himself in a showdown against former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega. 

“I’m going to be super greedy and I’d pick myself and I would fight Kenny Omega,” he revealed. Explaining his choice, Wight expressed admiration for Omega’s intensity, believing that a match between them could have set the stage on fire. 

He also added, “Kenny Omega is one guy in AEW that I think is just another talent that I would love to work with because of his intensity. I think Kenny and I could have torn the house down.”

While Omega is on the All-In lineup, his match isn’t against Wight. Instead, he’s scheduled to join forces with Kota Ibushi and “Hangman” Adam Page. The trio will take on Konosuke Takeshita, Juice Robinson, and Jay White.

Exploring other wrestling possibilities

While Kenny Omega stands out as the top contender Wight would love to face, he’s not the sole star on the former Big Show’s radar. In a candid discussion earlier this month, Wight unveiled a list of potential opponents within the AEW roster. Among them, Darby Allin and Lance Archer emerged as strong contenders for future bouts.

Yet, the list doesn’t stop there. Wight also expressed his keen interest in sharing the ring with AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy. Even fellow towering wrestler Satnam Singh caught Wight’s attention. Despite describing Singh as “a little green,” Wight conveyed his enthusiasm for teaming up with the seven-foot-two star in the ring.

The AEW landscape continues to evolve. Paul Wight’s aspirations and potential match-ups bring an added layer of excitement to the ever-evolving wrestling universe.
