QT Marshall Explains His Decision to Stay with AEW Instead of Joining WWE

QT Marshall turned down WWE and re-signed with AEW for a compelling reason.

In a recent interview with Steven Muehlhausen of Sports Illustrated: The Takedown, the AEW performer elaborated on his decision.

“I have so many positives in wrestling when it comes to what I bring to the table,” Marshall stated. “I make too many to the point where no one has a clue what to do with me, which is why I fit in so well at AEW because I don’t have just one role.”

Marshall further explained, “I just do as much stuff as I possibly can. Of course, it dawned on me to think about it. I remember telling Tony a long time ago when Cody first went to WWE, ‘I’m never going to leave AEW to go work in the office at WWE. I just won’t do it. That’s such a large system.’ I’m like Tony’s right-hand man. So why would I leave to go be number 7,000 in a company, work more hours, more days on the road, just to say I work for WWE? Like 20 years ago, of course, I would have done anything to work for WWE. Now, it’s different. If it was just talent-related, and I told Tony this as well, ‘If they came to me and we spoke about just being a talent on the main roster, of course. I mean, that’s the dream.’”
