Paul Wight Gives Injury Update Following Knee Surgery

AEW star Paul Wight has provided an injury update after undergoing knee surgery. 

The former Big Show has been recovering from knee replacement surgery since August 2022, which has kept him out of the ring. While on the shelf, Wight has continued to provide commentary for episodes of AEW Dark: Elevation. 

In an interview with Metro UK, Wight revealed the extent of the injury and noted that it left him wheelchair-bound for a significant period of time as he waited to go under the knife: 

"Well, I spent 11 weeks in a wheelchair because I was waiting for them to build the implant for my knee because of my size. I had crushed all the bone in the knee, I was bleeding into my shin. So, I've got a good pain tolerance, but when I say I rode the tire down to the rim, that's exactly what I did. But, luckily I still have all my ligaments in that knee, everything's good there, it's a nice, brand new titanium joint so it's good for 35 years. So, I can parachute if I want to – not that I'll ever jump out of an airplane, we all saw the movie Operation Dumbo drop, I don't think that's me, we're good!" said Wight.

The World's Largest Athlete recently revealed that he plans on returning to the ring in March.
