<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-paul-wight-on-in-ring-return">Paul Wight On In-Ring Return</h2>
<p>Wight has not wrestled since January 2024. He had both hips and knees replaced, and the recovery sidelined him for several months. However, he wants to return to the ring.</p>
<p>Speaking on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1sNzMAAjgBpJurRsd6ebtM" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Downunder The Ring</em></a>, Paul Wight <a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/news/1502131-paul-wight-hopes-to-return-to-the-ring-says-tony-khan-paid-me-a-shit-ton-of-money-to-wrestle">commented on potentially returning to the ring</a>. He noted that Tony Khan paid him to wrestle, and he had not done that very much. (H/t Andrew Thompson of <a href="https://www.postwrestling.com/2024/09/04/paul-wight-hoping-to-return-to-the-ring-says-tony-khan-paid-him-sht-ton-of-money-to-wrestle/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>POST Wrestling</em></a> for the transcription)</p>
<p>“God, I hope so (I can get back in the ring) because Tony Khan paid me a sh*t ton of money to get in the ring and so far, I haven’t done sh*t so,” Paul Wight said.”… I did, I did (take a bump onto a car). Then right after that, I went and got my knee replaced. Thanks Will Hobbs (he laughed).”</p>
