With AEW’s triumphant sell-out at Wembley making waves, Wight faced a burning question. All Elite Wrestling is creating a big moment on August 27th. They’re putting on the prestige show ‘All In’ in front of a massive crowd, breaking the previous record for attendance figures at an event. This new record is even bigger than the one WWE set for WrestleMania 32 in Dallas.
WWE wrestling’s unique appeal lies in its ability to transport fans into a world where great storytelling elevates the bouts between the good and bad guys. Nevertheless, Wight engaged in an exclusive chat with Kenny McIntosh from Inside The Ropes. The topic on the table? The intense world of wrestling competition.
Paul Wight, a prominent figure in the wrestling world didn’t hold back. He openly discussed Vince McMahon’s views on AEW’s significant success despite stiff competition from his own promotion.
Wight stated, “I think he is pissed. I think he is absolutely pissed. But he is also the type of guy, ok, he likes competition, he likes the challenge. Vince is very much the land of the jungle type mentality.” He also added, “I think that Vince is a guy who thrives on competition, thrives on doing new things, and thrives on being the best in his mind at what he does. So when competition steps up, that fires up Vince more than anything.”

Going beyond the surface, Wight illuminated McMahon’s insatiable hunger for competition. The driving force behind this fiery spirit? It’s the demand to elevate the WWE product to dazzling heights.
Speaking candidly, Wight spoke about McMahon’s psyche: “The worst thing that can happen to Vince is to be bored and be monotonous.” The AEW wrestler further added, “If he’s got competition then it fires him up to be better, which is a win for the fans because they will get better competition and we will produce a better product so it’s good too.”

As Wight took his place on the AEW All In the pre-show panel in London, rumors swirled about the potential return of his alter-ego, Captain Insano, within the legendary Wembley Stadium. This tantalizing hint added an air of mystery to the wrestling landscape, leaving fans eager for surprises.
McMahon’s recent spinal surgery may have momentarily shifted his hands-on approach. The record-breaking ticket sales for WWE WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia affirm his lasting impact. McMahon’s passion endures, a testament to his unwavering dedication to the world of wrestling. Nevertheless, the merger of the UFC and WWE could spur McMahon to achieve bigger and better things as he lays down the gauntlet for the future.
