Paul Wight Shares 393-Pound Milestone, Targets 360 in Ongoing Comeback Push

He frames the weight drop as part of a recovery plan to wrestle again only if he can meet his standard.

Overview

  • Wight posted new photos on social media reporting he now weighs 393 pounds and is aiming for 360.
  • The update marks a sharp drop from his longtime billed peak of around 500 pounds during his Big Show era.
  • The 53-year-old remains under AEW contract, where he has balanced in-ring work with commentary and community outreach since 2021.
  • He recently appeared on commentary for AEW’s January 24 episode of Collision, maintaining an on-screen presence during recovery.
  • After multiple surgeries, including a recent minor back procedure, he says he will return only if he can perform at a level he is proud of rather than as a nostalgia act.
