Wight signed with Tony Khan's promotion in February last year and made his television debut shortly after. While working on commentary for AEW Dark Elevation alongside Tony Schiavone, he competed in the ring on a few occasions. Having been a crucial part of the evolving industry for nearly 20 years, Paul Wight made a name for himself. The two-time WWE Champion also highlighted that he looks forward to assisting the betterment of talent in AEW and is not particularly aiming to win any titles for himself. In a recent interaction with CricketNext, the former WWE Superstar cited All Elite Wrestling as being more wrestling centric and did not have similarities to soap opera shows. "The biggest thing right now is to continue to put great wrestling on and have a different alternative. An AEW program is not like a WWE program. It has unique skill sets, unique talents. More wrestling focus for the true wrestling fan that maybe doesn't want quite the soap operaesque episodes that WWE offers, it's more wrestling oriented." (2:47 - 3:12) He further stated that Tony Khan had a vision for his promotion and approached it as a wrestling fan and not a businessman: "The one thing that makes me feel confident in AEW is the guy at the helm, Tony Khan who does have a vision, who is a wrestling fan. He's not coming at this like a businessman that just wants to make money. He's coming at this like a fan. And he is he's always been a wrestling fan. His dream is to build a global brand and Tony's a smart guy, he's gonna get it done."
