QT Marshall has announced his resignation from AEW. In a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter), Marshall shared that he would be finishing up with the company by the end of the year.
"Thank you AEW," he wrote. "Thank you Tony Khan. I've had the privilege of being here since day 1 and I've written over 750 formats for All Elite Wrestling and always with pride.
"As much as I've enjoyed being a VP, Manager of Talent Relations and wearing a myriad of hats, the company has changed a lot since 2019 and is heading in a different direction and I feel that it's best I do the same as we only get one chance to go All In! I have officially resigned from AEW and will have fulfilled all obligations by the end of 2023."

Marshall was divisive as an on-screen character but he was praised for his work behind-the-scenes as a producer and a trainer.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Marshall revealed how he trained Shaquille O'Neal for his AEW match where he teamed with Jade Cargill against Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet.
Marshall shared that he had told Shaq he'd be able to train him for a match in just 10 sessions which would happen late at night because of the basketball legend's busy schedule.
"He picked up on it very quickly," Marshall said. "He's a wrestling fan, so the moment that you asked him what he wanted to do, he already had a whole list of things that were in his mind that he was going to do to somebody and it was just about teaching him the right way to do it without hurting himself."

Following the announcement of his resignation, Marshall received an outpouring of praise on X from members of the AEW roster.
Most notably, Wardlow wrote: "Thank you @QTMarshall. He's a big reason I was ever hired to AEW. He did things for me that most wouldn't and treated me like a friend when I was a complete stranger.
"Also, legit one of the best wrestlers I've ever seen. Most importantly, always kept it real with me. Rare human."
