Wight has been a member of the AEW roster since March 2021, and has made sporadic appearances in the ring during his run with the company so far. He has also become a fixture in the commentary booth, announcing on AEW Dark: Elevation alongside Tony Schiavone and Mark Henry, while also acting as a coach backstage to help some of the younger talent perfect their craft.

Speaking with The Sports Courier, Paul Wight admitted that he really didn't do much in the last 18 months of his WWE career. “I still like to compete a little bit here and there. That was one of the things I wanted to do more of in WWE, the last year and a half I was in WWE I really didn’t do much. I think I wrestled Drew McIntyre after WrestleMania and wrestled Randy Orton. So it was like in a year and a half I wrestled like twice, and at the time that wasn’t what I wanted, I wanted more interaction, more storyline, I wanted to compete more." [12:19-12:42]. Wight isn't too far from the truth. In his final two years with WWE, The Big Show wrestled a total of six matches between January and July 2020 after being sidelined throughout 2019. After a few sporadic appearances at The Undertaker's retirement ceremony at Survivor Series 2020 and a "Legend's Night" edition of Raw in January 2021, Wight left WWE for new pastures. Paul Wight believed that he had done it all as The Big Show in WWE During the interview with The Sports Courier, Paul Wight admitted that one of the other reasons for leaving WWE to join AEW was that as The Big Show, he had done pretty much everything that he could. "But then on a serious note, I’d done everything I could do there in WWE, I needed to get a fresh character and fresh things.” [12:43-12:49] Wight certainly has a point as the list of accomplishments from his time in WWE is up there as one of the most decorated resumes in the company's history.
