QT Marshall comments on not going to WWE.
QT Marshall had been with AEW from the start, and he became Tony Khan's right-hand man, but he announced that he was resigning in November 2023. His absence was short-lived, as he returned at the beginning of 2024 and resumed his role as Vice President of Creative Coordinat꧙ion.
Speaking with Steven Muehlhausen , QT Marshall commented on the rumors that he could have gone to WWE, given his friend൩ship with Cod♛y Rhodes.
"I have so many positives in wrestling when it comes to what I bring to the table. 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. 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,'" Marshall said.
The𓂃 article notes that Marshall had a conversation with WWE in the beginning of 2024, after the end of his short-term extension with AEW. Marshall noted that he got "rubbed the wrong way" during the conversation, and he 💦had already spoken to Tony Khan about coming back to AEW.
"I had one conversation with somebody that doesn't even work there anymore. I just got rubbed the wrong way during the conversation. It was like, ‘Hey, yeah, oh yeah, that's great. All right. I told him, like, yeah, all right, we'll stay in touch’. To me, it was like I'm not staying in touch. I had all that time between November and January, so that on January 1 when that conversation did arise or January 2, whenever it was. It was like I kind of knew plus I had already spoken to Tony before that, so I kind of knew. I think I was just looking for a reason to say no," Marshall said.
