Paul Walter Hauser reflects on his AEW guest appearance.
On the January 23, 2023 episode of AEW Rampage, Golden Globe (and now Emmy) winner Paul Walter Hauser got in on the action, as he was confronted by Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, and Jeff Jarrett. The end result was Jarrett smashing a guitar over Hauser's head.
Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Hauser reflected on his appearance.
"The moment Sonjay Dutt grabbed my shirt, I’m like, ‘I’m slapping this guy.’ Jay Lethal just ‘wham’ and I went down. Then, I saw the guitar," recalled Hauser.
CVV asked if the guitar spot was planned.
"Jarrett, legit, just being Jeff Jarrett. I was like, ‘I’m going to take it.’ I was not going to not take it. I was also like ‘oh shit.’ Bam. Heard a ringing in my ear for six or seven seconds. It didn’t hurt as much, but I heard a ringing in my ear and I was down for the count. He was going for it. They took the Globe, had it for a while, and my whole thing was, we’re going to do a blowoff. Didn’t happen. After a while, I hit up Tony [Tony Khan], ‘I have to get my trophy back. You can’t keep hanging onto it.’ It was the real one. I hope we get to finish that story. I don’t know if we ever will. Tony [Tony Khan] has been super cool, always helping me, ‘here’s some tickets to the show, come hang out.’ He’ll invite me to Gorilla. He’s the mensch of all mensches. He’s the man," said Hauser.
It is unknown if Hauser will return to AEW television.
He is set to face Matt Cardona at Wrestling REVOLVER on March 16th.
