Paul Wight on signing a new deal with AEW: “It helps when your boss likes you”

During an interview with Joey Franchize, Paul Wight confirmed that he signed a new contract with AEW earlier in 2026. Wight stated the following…

“Let’s thank Tony Khan because Tony Khan still sees something in me. So, I’m grateful for that. It helps when your boss likes you. It kind of helps.

When he’s one of those bosses that understands what you’ve been through and understands your vision, he’s like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to make this happen. I want to see this happen too.’ So you’re like, ‘Yeah, that’s good.’ Because, you know, hey, this is a tough business, but I’m very grateful. I’m very happy, and that’s why I’m here to kick butt.”
