Former AEW wrestler announced as on-screen talent and mentor for Memphis Wrestling
Marko Stunt has a new role in wrestling.
Memphis Wrestling announced in a press release on Wednesday that Stunt has joined the promotion as both a mentor and on-screen talent, writing:
“Memphis Wrestling is proud to announce Marko Stunt is joining its roster in a full-time on-screen role. Marko Stunt is a hometown boy from the Memphis area whom gained worldwide popularity on All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Marko will bring his notoriety and unique skillset to our television program while also serving as a mentor and coach at the Memphis Wrestling WrestleCenter.
Dustin Starr, Owner and Host of Memphis Wrestling, knows the value Marko brings to the locker room and TV screen. ‘We are going to have so much fun with this. Welcome to the home team, Marko!’
Marko recently hinted at retirement from in-ring competition and announced a new career venture. Fans and wrestlers alike can anticipate what Marko’s role will be – whether it be inside or outside the squared circle.
Marko Stunt’s first appearance will be televised Saturday November 22nd on WMC Action News 5 Plus, WBBJ Jackson, THV11+ in Little Rock, Triller TV and YouTube.”
The former AEW wrestler retired from in-ring competition late last year on the advice of doctors. He revealed in a recent TikTok video that he’s currently working as a car salesman at Homer Skelton Ford in Mississippi.
Stunt’s final match took place on July 6, 2024, when he returned to AEW for one night and lost to his former Jurassic Express teammate, Jack Perry. He departed AEW in 2022 after his contract expired that spring but hadn’t wrestled for the promotion in eight months at the time. After his release, Stunt appeared for GCW, Black Label Pro, and several other independent promotions before largely stepping away from in-ring action in early 2023.
