QT Marshall, a prominent figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), made a surprising departure from the promotion last year, only to return to AEW in a new capacity. In an exclusive interview with Bill Apter, Marshall opened up about his decision to leave AEW, his considerations of joining WWE, and his ultimate choice to return to AEW as Vice President of Creative Coordination.
Marshall’s departure from AEW was met with surprise, especially given his long-standing association with the promotion. However, he has now confirmed that he has resolved his issues and decided to return to AEW in an executive role. Despite having had conversations with WWE, Marshall made it clear that he had no intention of becoming a producer for the company. Instead, he preferred to continue working within AEW, where he could maintain his current status and continue contributing to the creative process.
Marshall’s conversation with WWE was brief, lasting around three to four minutes, during which time he expressed his desire to wrestle for the company. However, he quickly realized that this was not a viable option, citing the fact that he would have to start at the bottom and make less money. Marshall admitted that the only perk would be the opportunity to work with his friend Cody Rhodes, but ultimately, it was not a prospect he was eager to pursue.
In contrast, Marshall emphasized that his return to AEW was motivated by his desire to continue working in a creative capacity. As Vice President of Creative Coordination, he is responsible for handling talent ideas and presenting them to AEW President Tony Khan. Marshall’s role is multifaceted, requiring him to balance the needs and ideas of various talents while also ensuring that the company’s overall vision is preserved.

However, it is clear that he values his role within the organization and is committed to its success. In fact, he expressed his sense of belonging at AEW, stating that he understands what he wants to do and knows that this is the best fit for him.
QT Marshall’s return to AEW is a significant development in the promotion’s history. His decision to stay with AEW as Vice President of Creative Coordination is a testament to his dedication to the company and his commitment to its creative vision.
