Paul Wight’s In-Ring Return And More Announced For AEW “Dark: Elevation”

Eight matches have been announced for tonight's AEW "Dark: Elevation" episode, including the in-ring return of Paul Wight.

Wight will face Austin Green on tonight's show. This episode was taped last Wednesday at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina, which is Wight's hometown. Wight stated in an earlier interview that he asked AEW President Tony Khan to book him on Dynamite, but instead he got a match on Elevation.

This is just Wight's fourth match for AEW. After signing with the company in February 2021, the former Big Show made his AEW in-ring debut with a win over QT Marshall at All Out last September, and then won two 3-on-1 Handicap Matches on Elevation that fall. He defeated CPA, RSP and VSK in September, and then defeated Cole Karter, Carlie Bravo and Arjun Singh in October. This is his first match since then.
