Paul Wight is currently not an active member of the AEW roster, but is working behind the scenes in the company in addition to being a commentator.
Speaking to DAZN in July, Wight talked about AEW All In 2023 and the massive crowd. The former Big Show thinks it will be a learning experience for many in the promotion. He said,
“I know what it means. I think some of the other guys that have worked on bigger shows like this know what it means. I think some of our younger talent haven’t comprehended yet. Because they haven’t worked in front of a crowd like this. A lot of them haven’t worked in front of the hot UK crowd and I haven’t even worked in front of the UK crowd this big. So this is going to be a moment in time for I think all the crew in AEW and the UK fans as well. That’s what’s so incredible about this is this is a moment in time — when I first had my first meeting with Tony Khan, I was very adamant [that] we need to get to the UK, we need to. It’s good for our talent to work in front of those fans, to experience that environment. It really helps you understand your character. I know that sounds weird because you can work all the time in different places, but I’ve always found that I’ve made monumental leaps in my career and my character, and my understanding of the industry, working over here in the UK. That being said, My ambition was, ‘We’d get a great show at the O2 Arena, that would be amazing. If we can fill that place up, it’d rock, it’d be great.’ Well, now we got Wembley.”
