AEW and Tony Khan are bringing back a familiar name to the promotion that will make a lot of people in the promotion happy.
That star is QT Marshall, who departed the company in December after being adamant that he wanted to wrestle rather than be just behind the scenes in the front office and as a trainer.
As previously reported, there were also issues with the product and Marshall’s beliefs about what it should be, as he believed it should have a more entertainment-based approach to wrestling rather than Khan’s belief that great wrestling matches tell the storylines.
There was also the situation where CM Punk reportedly didn’t want Marshall to be a part of Collision and didn’t see QTV as a productive part of Powerhouse Hobbs’ presentation, so it got nixed, something Khan took the blame for, which damaged their relationship, as Marshall felt that there was a lack of transparency as to why the segments were nixed. Marshall was well-liked by those in AEW.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported that Marshall is returning as Vice President of creative and talent. He is not planned to return as an in-ring talent. He has yet to start back. He can wrestle outside of AEW.
