Marko Stunt Doesn’t Believe He Handled His Time In AEW As Maturely As He Should Have
Marko Stunt believes he has no one to blame but himself for why things didn’t work out with AEW.
Stunt was among the promotion’s earliest signings and gained popularity as one-third of Jurassic Express. However, things didn’t go as planned after three years with the company, and AEW chose not to renew his contract in 2022, leading to his departure.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Stunt reflected on his time in AEW and admitted that some of the decisions he made — along with the injuries he suffered — ultimately led to the promotion parting ways with him.
“I think there’s a few things that went into it,” he said. “I’ve grown up a lot since then. I’m almost 30 now; was in my early 20’s when all of that first started, I was young, dumb, and excited to be living my dream. I made some decisions that didn’t go over too well a couple of times. I kind of treated it like ‘I’m here, I’m good.’ A terrible mindset to have to be real honest with you. I absolutely loved being there, I’ve got friends for life from there now. Obviously with Jack (Perry) and Luchasaurus, Sammy Guevara, and all the VLOG crew we were a part of.
Marko Stunt says he didn’t handle his AEW run maturely
“… To go back to your question, I do think there was somethings I could’ve done different to preserve my spot a little better, I don’t think I handled it as maturely as I should have. I feel like I have to blame it on myself, I wanna say I go too comfortable to be honest with you. I didn’t feel untouchable or anything, that was never in my headspace, I did feel too comfortable there.” [H/T: Fightful]
Marko Stunt made a one-off return to AEW in July 2024, when he unsuccessfully challenged Jack Perry for the TNT Championship. He left the wrestling business altogether later that year. These days, he’s enjoying life working as a car salesman.
