Paul Wight: I Want To Work With Kenny Omega, We Could Rip The Roof Off The Building

Paul Wight has a list of names he wants to work with. 

It is unknown when Wight will be back in the ring after undergoing a knee replacement in August, but he’s working his way back and hopes to return “soon.” 

When he does return, he’s looking to work with some of the top names in AEW. 

“There are a couple guys I want to work with. I definitely want to work with Kenny Omega at some point. I’m totally fascinated by a lot of stuff Kenny Omega does. Kenny and I could have a great big man, little man match. I have zero doubts in my mind we could rip the roof off the building. (Powerhouse) Hobbs, Wardlow. Even Darby Allin. I’d probably have to be a bad guy to compete against Darby Allin, but if I was a bad guy competing against Darby Allin, I could have the place rioting because he does such a good job with his character of selling and fighting from underneath. Lance Archer is another one. Orange Cassidy would be fun to play with, maybe tag with. As an opponent, he’d probably irritate the hell out of me, but as a tag partner he’d be a lot of fun. I always tease Dark Order that I’m a card carrying member of Dark Order and I’m going to join Dark Order. There are so many great talents that whatever we put together, we’re going to have fun with. We have Satnam Singh, who is 7’2”, he’s a little green right now, but at some point, if I tag with him and show him how to tag team wrestle as a giant, that would be fun and maybe down the road split up into a feud there. The landscape is wide open to do whatever,” Wight said in an interview with Deuce and Mo. 

Wight hasn’t wrestled since March 2022. 

Elsewhere during the interview, Wight noted that he still had a couple of years left in AEW. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
