AEW star and pro wrestling veteran QT Marshall spoke with The Takedown on SI.com on a number of topics, including why he decided not to pursue WWE.
Marshall said, “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. … It’s not just me anymore, it’s my wife, it’s my dog, it’s – you know – my brother just moved to Georgia, so the school – there’s so many different things going on, I can’t just pack up.”
On considering WWE and his relationship with Cody Rhodes:
“That’s the dream, right? Like, when I was growing up, I only knew WWF. I don’t know if it’s affected my relationship with Cody, but we’re still pretty close.”
On being comfortable working in AEW:
“I think deep down I just was looking for a reason to not go through with having more conversations. I’m very comfortable at AEW, I’m comfortable with Tony, I love the people there.”
On telling Cody Rhodes he was returning to AEW:
“I remember talking to him about my frustrations with AEW at the time, and he literally told me like ‘Well, if you’re gonna quit your job just to come here? Like don’t do that, that’s not a good decision.’”
