Paul Wight, aka The Big Show, is enjoying his life as a member of the AEW family.
The move
Wight shocked a lot of people when he left WWE after being with the company for 20 years and joined AEW in February 2021, where he wrestled a few matches and worked as an announcer.
Chris Jericho and Wight reunited on the Chris Jericho Cruise a few weeks back, where they were wearing their retro gear for the match from their time as a tag team in WWE.
Transition
While speaking with Jack Curry of The Yes Network to support the New York Yankees at Sunday’s game, he was asked about the transition from WWE to AEW.
“It’s been fantastic. I was blessed to work for a big company for a lot of years all over the world. Now, at my stage of the game, to find myself useful in a company that allows me to spread a lot of my knowledge to the younger talent, get a chance to get on the microphone every now and then and enhance them, help their characters along and then get in the ring and mix it up. It’s probably the single greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. I’m blessed, grateful, and thankful for the fans that still like to see me do my thing.”
