In a surprising twist that has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, former WWE World Champion, Paul Wight, is rumored to make his in-ring return at AEW Full Gear after an absence of over a year. Since his transition to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), fans have mostly seen Wight in a broadcasting role, with only a handful of matches taking place on the now-defunct Dark Elevation. His last significant victory occurred at AEW All Out in 2021 when he triumphed over QT Marshall in a singles showdown. However, the wrestling community’s curiosity has been piqued as news of his return circulates.

The anticipation surrounding Wight’s return intensified after a recent segment on the October 25th episode of Dynamite. Chris Jericho, still reeling from his unexpected loss to Powerhouse Hobbs, spoke out about his adversary’s dominance. Jericho acknowledged Hobbs’ formidable presence but hinted at someone even more imposing. According to Fightful Select, the plan in the works is for Paul Wight, the former WWE Champion, to make a highly-anticipated appearance at AEW Full Gear. The natural conclusion is that he might square off against Powerhouse Hobbs, creating a clash of colossal proportions.

Paul Wight was initially set to make his return at AEW All-In

It’s worth noting that plans were initially set for Wight to feature in a match at “All In,” an event that also involved Satnam Singh. Unfortunately, those plans never came to fruition. However, AEW Full Gear presents a new and exciting opportunity for Wight to showcase his skills and reaffirm his status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional wrestling.

The highly anticipated AEW Full Gear event is set to electrify the wrestling universe as it emanates from the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California on November 18th. The prospect of Paul Wight’s return to the ring adds an extra layer of excitement to an already action-packed night.

Wight, who recently made a rare appearance outside of AEW as part of an OVW taping, seems poised to reestablish his presence as a dominant force in the wrestling world. AEW Full Gear promises to be a night of epic clashes and memorable moments, and Wight’s return to action is sure to be one of the event’s standout highlights. Wrestling fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting this historic comeback, and it could mark the beginning of a new chapter in the remarkable career of the former WWE World Champion.
