Former World Champion Teases Return To The Ring This Weekend

Try it again. There have been a lot of wrestlers over the years but only a select group of them have ever reached the pinnacle of the business as the World Champion. There are multiple different World Titles throughout the industry and some wrestlers have been able to win titles from different promotions. Now one of those wrestlers might be making a return to the ring.

Former WWE and WCW World Champion Paul Wight appeared on the Brandon Kravitz Podcast and said that he might be getting in the ring for a match on this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite. There is no word on who Wight will be facing and AEW has not made an announcement. Wight has only wrestled twice for AEW, though Saturday would be the 26th anniversary of his in ring debut at Halloween Havoc 1995.

Wight has been a player in AEW. Check out his time there, plus his debut back in 1995:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that might draw a bit of extra interest in Dynamite as Wight is indeed a legend in wrestling. That being said, odds are the match would be rather short and a one off, which is probably the best for everyone involved. It is not easy to find someone who can be a physical match for Wight, so keeping things short and to the point is probably the best solution.
