Paul Wight wants Tony Khan to sign former WWE star Baron Corbin

In a recent interview with Notsam Wrestling Live, AEW star Paul Wight (fka Big Show) said that Khan should sign former WWE star Baron Corbin. He believes that the 41-year-old would improve the All Elite Wrestling product.

“When I look at people that can help AEW, Tom [Pestock] is a guy that I think could help our product. I really do. It’s funny, I don’t know why I haven’t thought of this before but I just heard him talk, I’m like, 'oh yeah, this guy can work,' and he’s not working with the other company [WWE] anymore. Holy sh*t, this is a steal," Wight said.

Tony Khan has signed several former WWE stars so far. Corbin might be a good addition to his roster. Only time will tell what the future holds for the former WWE United States Champion.
