Marko Stunt, once a breakout star in AEW’s early days, is gearing up to step back into the spotlight—but not where you might expect.
After stepping away from the ring in July 2024, the former AEW star has been focused on life outside pro wrestling. Now, he’s teasing a major update about his future in the business.
Stunt recently took to social media to announce a new chapter in his life as a car salesman, sharing that he’s now working at Homer Skelton Ford in Olive Branch, Mississippi. The career pivot had many assuming his wrestling days were done for good, especially after he cited health concerns as the reason behind stepping away from the ring.
PWInsider reported that Stunt’s “big announcement”—set for November 2nd at Memphis Wrestling’s TV tapings—is expected to be about his pro wrestling career. While he hasn’t wrestled since July, the timing and tone of the announcement suggest he may be ready for a return in some capacity.
Memphis Wrestling has also hyped the event, promoting both Stunt and former AEW TNT Champion Scorpio Sky for appearances at the Sunday tapings. In their promotional materials, they teased fans with the following:
“Marko Stunt has a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT – what will it be?”
Stunt himself hasn’t commented further on the nature of the announcement, but the build-up has fans wondering whether he’s stepping back into the ring, taking a new role behind the scenes, or saying goodbye to wrestling on his own terms.
