Longtime AEW Wrestler And Producer QT Marshall Announces Resignation From The Company
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was hit with a significant blow today as veteran wrestler and producer QT Marshall announced his resignation. In a heartfelt message shared on social media platform X, Marshall expressed his gratitude to AEW and its founder, Tony Khan, but acknowledged that the company has evolved since its inception in 2019 and is now heading in a different direction. Marshall revealed that he would be leaving the company, fulfilling all his obligations by the end of 2023.
During his time with AEW, Marshall held various backstage roles, including Vice President of Show and Creative Coordination. As a result, his departure is expected to have an impact on the promotion, which is already dealing with the absence of its world champion due to an undisclosed injury. Marshall was also a notable character in AEW programming, most recently portraying the leader of the QTV stable. His last appearance was on the August 25 episode of AEW Rampage where he defended the AAA Latin American Championship against the renowned luchador Gravity.
Last September, Marshall agreed to a short-term contract extension that would keep him with AEW until the end of 2023. This extension followed a period of negotiations for a long-term deal, during which Marshall had been working without a contract. However, it appears that the negotiations did not yield a satisfactory outcome, leading to Marshall’s decision to become a free agent after almost five years with the company.
Taking the opportunity to thank everyone involved in his AEW journey, Marshall expressed his gratitude to the front office, production team, and hardworking talent. He also acknowledged the fans who played an integral role in his career, whether by booing, cheering, or being part of the story.
AEW has yet to release an official statement regarding Marshall’s resignation, leaving fans and industry insiders curious about the potential ramifications for the promotion. Nonetheless, Marshall’s decision marks the end of an era for him within AEW, as he moves on to new opportunities and ventures in the wrestling world.
With such a significant departure from the company, fans and wrestling enthusiasts will undoubtedly keep a close eye on Marshall’s next career move. As the landscape of professional wrestling continues to evolve, it remains to be seen where Marshall’s talents will be showcased in the future. For now, his contributions to AEW will be remembered and celebrated, as fans bid farewell to a longstanding figure in the promotion.
In the ever-changing world of professional wrestling, the departure of a veteran like QT Marshall serves as a reminder of the industry’s constant evolution and the opportunities it presents for talents to explore new horizons. As Marshall begins the next chapter of his career, fans can only anticipate what awaits this accomplished wrestler and producer beyond the realm of AEW.
