Paul Wight said he had hip replacement surgery back in December, with both hips now being replaced.

Speaking to Submission Radio, Wight spoke on why he hasn’t competed regularly on AEW television since signing for the company last year.

“I had another hip transplant in December,” Wight said. “So now I have two fake hips, so I’m like Wolverine. “

“My thing coming over here honestly is that I came [to AEW] to work on my commentary skills, because that is where my future lies, that’s where I want to contribute to the business,” he said further. I came over to compete periodically, in small doses. I don’t see myself running for championships, that’s not my gig. Maybe if it works out , a younger talent for the tag team championship maybe. I’ve done my five nights a week for decades.”

Wight last wrestled on the episode of AEW Dark Elevation that aired on March 30, where he defeated Austin Green in under three minutes.

Prior to this coming out, I didn’t think Show needed to be working at all. This just kind of confirms it.

You want to focus on commentary, all good. Nobody really benefits from a hobbling Paul Wight in the ring.

I say throw him in a battle royal or something from time to time. Maybe multi-man tags where it makes sense. But just a handful of matches per year is plenty enough.

Yeah use him uber rarely kind of like how they used to use Billy Gunn
