It’s Tall Paul.

Chris Jericho appeared on this past week’s Dynamite in a sit-down interview to address Will Hobbs’ dominant win against him the previous week on AEW Dynamite. During the course of the interview, Jericho had noted that Hobbs is big, but that he knows someone bigger.

We’d mentioned this on our post-AEW Fightful show last week, and it seems fairly obvious, but we’d still gained some inquiries. As of last week, the working plan was for Paul Wight to return to work some sort of match at AEW Full Gear. Wight hasn’t wrestled since a Dark Elevation squash in March 2022, and had a handful of matches in September and October of 2021.

Wight was discussed for an AEW All In match at one point involving Satnam Singh that didn’t end up happening.
