Konnan Defends The Booking Of QT Marshall In AAA Lucha Libre

QT Marshall has found a second home in AAA Lucha Libre, competing at the most recent TripleMania events.

At AAA TripleMania XXXI: Tijuana, Marshall defeated Pentagon Jr in an ambulance. He followed up that victory by winning the vacant AAA Latin America Title in a four-way match against Dralistico, El Texano Jr., and Pentagon Jr. at AAA TripleMania XXXI: Mexico City.

Speaking on K100, Konnan explained why Rey Fenix was stripped of the title in the first place and the decision to have QT Marshall win the title.

"'Oh, you took the belts off Fenix,' the guy didn't defend them for a year. Should I leave them on him forever to when him and Tony [Tony Khan] decide...I had to take it off of him. That's a dumb remark," said Konnan. "I thought the QT match was really good, and I'll tell you why. It's very rare that my boss comes up to me and says 'hey, I want that guy back.' He came back right after the match and he goes, 'can we have QT back?' He looked really good. [People] go, 'Oh, he's a jobber.' He's not a jobber here. If you're a jobber there, you have to be a jobber here? Do you know how many people know who QT Marshall is in Mexico? Only the hardcore fans. Right now, every casual fan is like, 'this is the guy who just won the Latin American Title and beat Pentagon, and he got heat on his first match.'"

Marshall remains part of AEW television, running QTV with Aaron Solo, Harley Cameron, and Johnny TV [John Morrison].
