Following the AEW Revolution pay-per-view on Sunday night, Paul Wight took part in the post-show media scrum to talk about signing with the promotion after shocking the wrestling world by parting ways with WWE.
According to the longtime veteran formerly known as Big Show, the reaction from the Chairman of WWE would actually surprise a lot of fans.
Featured below is an excerpt from Paul Wight’s post-PPV media scrum where he addresses this subject.
“Here’s the thing, Vince actually called me the day it was announced that I signed with AEW, wished me a lot of luck, agreed that I’m a big asset to AEW and thanked me for all the years I worked in WWE,” Wight revealed. “There’s no animosity, there’s no anger, there’s no dirt, so to speak.
“This just came down to, you know, contract negotiations and opportunities. Let’s face it, over 20 years in WWE, I have done everything there is to do, in WWE. I needed a fresh start, and for me, Vince understands that and understands me as a talent, and this was an opportunity for me to do that.”
