Paul Wight Recently Had Hip Surgery

The AEW roster has been struck by the injury bug as of late. It started with Kenny Omega getting injured, followed by CM Punk, and this week on AEW Dynamite, Hangman Page suffered concussion that left him unable to complete the match. Now, it looks like you can add one more name to this injury list, as Jim Ross has confirmed that Paul Wight just underwent surgery.

During his recent Grilling JR podcast, AEW commentator Jim Ross confirmed that Paul underwent hip surgery recently. He further stated that Paul Wight who was on a walker looked kind of beat up. Jim Ross also said that he would love to see Paul Wight get over in AEW, but he’s got to get healthy first.

“Guys like to be around [Wight], you know, he’s had surgery, hip surgery, I saw him just the other day at one of our shows. I think he was on walker or a cane or something like that, but he’s kind of beat up. He says he’s coming back and he’s going to be in great shape and he’s going to have more matches. I hope that he’s all right. I would love to see it. It would help AEW no doubt if he gets over. But he’s got to get healthy.”

Paul Wight formerly known as Big Show has had hip procedures done within the past year. After a long run with WWE, Paul Wight shocked the world when he showed up on AEW in 2021. He wrestled his first match for the promotion at All Out 2021 against QT Marshall. His last match for AEW was on the April 4, 2022 edition of AEW Dark: Elevation when he defeated Austin Green.
