AEW Signs Paul Wight to Wrestle, Serve as Commentator

Wight is best known to wrestling fans as “The Big Show” and has been part of WWE for over 20 years. Under the deal, Wight will not only wrestle but will also serve as commentator on AEW’s newest show, “AEW Dark: Elevation.” The show will air Mondays at 7 p.m. ET on the AEW YouTube channel.

“It’s been amazing to watch what AEW has built in just a couple of years,” Wight said. “’AEW Dark’ is an incredible platform to hone the skills of up-and-coming wrestlers, but I also love that established AEW talent can build out their personalities and showcase themselves in new ways on ‘Dark’. It’s no exaggeration when they say that AEW is boundless.”

Further announcements around Wight’s signing, including the identity of his commentary partner, will be announced on “AEW: Dynamite” tonight on TNT. Wight is one of the most successful giants in professional wrestling history, billed at a height of seven feet tall and a weight of 500 pounds at one point in his career. He made his professional debut with WCW in 1995 and quickly winning the world championship from Hulk Hogan. He joined WWE in 1999 and has been one of the company’s most well-known stars ever since.

“Paul Wight is one of the most recognizable and impressive professional athletes in the world,” said Tony Khan, CEO, GM and head of creative of AEW. “He wanted to come to AEW because he believes that we’re the best promotion in wrestling, and we believe that he has a lot to offer us, both in the ring as a wrestler, and also outside the ring as a commentator, host and ambassador for AEW.

Hell yeah!

Awesome addition to the AEW roster gonna be fun to see this Giant with more creative control.

Typical wwe stans crying trying to act like people can’t work elsewhere

Where does it say he will wrestle? I don't remember seeing that in the press release.

It would get more clicks if it said “Big Show” tbh

This is actually a really big get. No pun intended. The big show is one of the WWE most reliable guys. Losing a glue like that is huge for AEW development.

AEW When did he leave WWE ?

AEW I don’t know how I feel about this...
