WWE Held Talks Over Signing QT Marshall

Under different circumstances, QT Marshall may have never returned to All Elite Wrestling.

Marshall exited the company at the end of 2023, but he is already back with AEW in a backstage capacity. QT won't be wrestling on AEW programming but he will remain an in-ring talent outside of the promotion. 

One of the options for Marshall during his brief time out of AEW was WWE and QT revealed to Bill Apter of Sportskeeda that he did have talks with the 'sports entertainment' giant.

"Tony and I have spoken numerous times about this. I'm not going to WWE just to be a producer. I can do that at AEW, where I can work one day a week, and I'm number whatever in the company, in the top ten, where as, I go to WWE, I start at the bottom, I make less money, I'm on the road more. The only perk is that I get to be with my friend Cody and just to say that I work for WWE, which has been my dream since I was eight years old, but it's not my dream to be a producer for WWE. I did speak to them, and we don't know what could happen. Ideally, I'm back to AEW under an employee role," Marshall stated.

Marshall later confirmed he is back in AEW as Vice President of Creative Coordination and provided further insight into his talks with WWE.  

"I'm back to the old position, Vice President of Creative Coordination. A lot of it is dealing with talent. It's getting the talent ideas to Tony. There is a lot of talent, they all have ideas. To me, if I wasn't going to go to WWE and wrestle... when I spoke to them, it was a three-four minute conversation and they asked me what I wanted to do. I asked them what I would like to do, and we never got past that point. The guy that linked me up with them was like, 'You're already going back to AEW?' Yeah, because I understand what I want to do, and what I want to do, even if I was a full-time in-ring talent at WWE, I couldn't do all of this stuff. For everything I want to do, this is the best fit for me, unless something comes along and it's the greatest opportunity and I can't say no. Ideally, I'm not in that position, so it's not something I think about," Marshall added.

Beyond his AEW commitments, Marshall is behind the relaunch of Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling. He also remains a trainer at the Nightmare Factory.
