Paul Wight Talks Injury Status, Says He Hopeful To Be Back In The Ring In March

Paul Wight gives an update on his current injury status.

Despite doing commentary for the promotion every week on AEW Dark: Elevation, Paul Wight hasn’t wrestled a match in All Elite Wrestling since March 2022. That match, which was fittingly on a episode of Dark: Elevation, was held in Wight’s hometown of Columbia, South Carolina.

In a recent interview with Metro UK, Wight talked about the injury setbacks he’s suffered in recent months.

“You know, there’s been some setbacks personally. I mean, I’ve had a couple of injury setbacks, had to get a knee replaced in August. That knee was bad for 12 years, so it could’ve gone any day! It’s like kind of like that tire on your car that you know you should change but keep driving anyway.”

Wight also went on to say that everything is currently on schedule and that he’s looking to get back in the ring next month.

“But we’re good now, and hopefully we’ll be back in the ring in March. Everything’s on schedule, so we’re looking good!”

When Wight was asked about potential opponents, he revealed that he wants to compete against The Gunns, citing that they need a good chop or two.

“They’re a couple of little smart asses right now. Down the road I wanna compete against them at least so I can chop the hell out of them. It needs to happen. They’re incredibly athletic, they have a bright future.”
