Update On QT Marshall's In-Ring Future and Return To AEW
QT Marshall is officially back with All Elite Wrestling, but he's working in a slightly different capacity than his role last year.
Marshall attempted to resign from AEW in the summer of 2023 due to issues with the the company's creative direction, including his own lack of ring time. Tony Khan convinced him to reconsider, but later wound up announcing his formal resignation.
On Monday, Marshall announced on Twitter that he's back with the company, but does not plan on wrestling any time soon. He's back working behind the scenes and will continue wrestling "everywhere else" (except WWE).
"I’m not wrestling at AEW. The fans didn’t like me out there so I’m going to wrestle everywhere else. I’m a man of the people," wrote Marshall.
He's already back working with AEW and was backstage at Saturday's Collision tapings. He posted this new 'promo' photo of himself, showing that he's gotten himself into the best shape of his career. He also included the hashtag #VP, an indication that he's back in a Vice President capacity.
QT Marshall recently relaunched Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling, the independent promotion founded by the late Dusty Rhodes.
Marshall competed at TCW's 'relaunch' event earlier this month from McDonough, GA. He teamed with Glacier, Luther Biggs, and Scotty Riggs in a win against Adam Priest, Duncan Mitchell, Owen Knight, and Sunny Daze.
His next appearance will be at Coastal Championship Wrestling Bash At The Brew on March 2. He will take on Martin Stone for the CCW World Heavyweight Championship at CCW Conquer Kissimmee on March 8.
AEW getting Marshall to return is another move the company has made to prepare for another record-breaking year,
AEW recently signed former WWE senior writer Jennifer Pepperman as the new Vice President of Content Development. She is expected to be involved with Mercedes Moné as a writer when she makes her debut with AEW.
Earlier this week, the company hired a new backstage announcer.
The company is also reportedly looking to host three stadium shows, as AEWxNew Japan Pro Wrestling Forbidden Door will occur at Arthur Ashe Stadium in June. However, AEW has yet to make an official announcement.
The decision to sign Marshall in a backstage role, as well as other business moves, has the potential to create great results for the company in 2024.
