Current AEW broadcaster Paul Wight recently discussed his transition from WWE to AEW on the Duece & Mo Show.
During the interview, Wight stated: “When you have a lot of passion and you have more things that you want to personally accomplish, sometimes taking yourself out of a very comfortable environment challenges yourself. It was more of a deep-down personal thing that I really needed to push myself to not be complacent.”
He continued, “I was very comfortable in WWE, I was treated well… [I had] great relationships with the management and production, I don’t have any hard feelings with anyone there at all… For me, being too comfortable is like death… I want to be challenged.”
