QT Marshall Reveals Discussions With WWE Prior to His AEW Re-engagement – Sky Bulletin

QT Marshall, a cornerstone in AEW since the start, had departed the company when his contract came to an end. However, Marshall has made a decision to rejoin AEW. Prior to this development, he had been in talks with WWE. Marshall has now opened up about these conversations before affirming his commitment to AEW.

Previously, QT Marshall had taken to social media to announce his exit from AEW. AEW president Tony Khan had commended Marshall for his work and hinted at the possibility of his return. Subsequently, resolving whatever issues there were, Marshall opted to return to AEW, albeit not to perform inside the ring.

In an interview with Bill Apter for Sportskeeda, QT Marshall spoke about the prospect of joining WWE in the interim period of his absence from AEW. He emphatically stated that his interest was not in becoming a WWE producer.

“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, whereas, 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 [Cody Rhodes] 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, who now holds the position of Vice President of Creative Coordination at AEW, elaborated on his duties, which include processing talent ideas and presenting them to Tony Khan. Although he contemplated WWE as a potential career move, he views AEW as the superior choice for the creative engagement he seeks.

”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.”

The nature of QT Marshall’s role following his return to AEW has been clarified. Only the future will determine the extent to which Marshall will become an integral part of AEW’s continued success.
