Aaron Solo was not originally scheduled for the Casino Battle Royale at Double Or Nothing.
The Factory consists of QT Marshall, Anthony Ogogo, Aaron Solo and Nick Comoroto and The Factory were present at AEW All Out for QT’s match against Paul Wight.
QT was unsuccessful in defeating Wight but The Factory have had other accolades and highlighted moments such as QT scoring a win over Cody Rhodes along with Gunn Club (Billy, Austin & Colten Gunn) helping The Factory take out Paul Wight. Ahead of All Out, QT did an interview with Steel Chair Magazine and said he was supposed to be in the Casino Battle Royale at Double Or Nothing 2021 but he told Tony Khan he was injured so Aaron Solo could get in the match.
That’s what I try to explain, I’m good at what I do and I try to be the best me. I don’t want to be the next Rey Fénix or Young Bucks, I want to be me. I think there is a spot in the company for someone like me. I have my guys behind me that are learning from me. Eventually, I’ll transition to letting them do more of the wrestling but right now, it’s my time. They understand that and know I’m not being selfish with it. They’re along for the ride because if I succeed, they succeed. That’s our mentality as a faction. If one of us succeeds, we all succeed. I was supposed to be in the Casino Battle Royale at Double or Nothing this year and I pulled myself from it due to the ‘injury’ to my wrist but really I wanted to be in Anthony Ogogo’s corner and I wanted Aaron Solow to be in the Battle Royale, so he got to be on PPV. I told Tony I was ‘injured’, he okayed it and I put my metal brace on and punched Cody in the head with it. I also got to go out with Ogogo as his mentor and watch him perform on a PPV. Now, it’s my turn. Hopefully next PPV, it’s Nick Comoroto and Aaron Solow’s turn and we just keep it going. That’s the goal of what the Factory is. It’s not, hey this is the QT show, right now it is but next week it goes back to being the Factory. Everything is we or the Factory, not I. I think that’s the best part of why we’re so successful as a faction already. It’s because we’re one group that together is trying to be the best. Kind of like AEW.
Marshall has been a part of All Elite Wrestling since the start. He was involved with the production of ALL IN as well. He recalled being at the first Double Or Nothing and being the first person to take the fall off the casino chip that Jon Moxley would later throw Kenny Omega off of.
All these additions are just helping put more eyes on the company. You talk about all the stuff that I do, right? It’s known that I do a lot of stuff for AEW but, going back to that first weekend at Double or Nothing, and this is an exclusive just for you, I practiced the fall Omega had to take for Jon Moxley. The day before, I had to do that because Kenny Omega was at his Starrcast signing and all the stuff they were doing. This was before I was a wrestler in AEW and they said, ‘Hey, we need someone to practice this.’ So, I said, ‘Practice what?’ and they said, ‘We need someone to practice this bump Kenny has to take.’ I remember saying, ‘Alright, I’ll do it.’ They tried to be like what do you mean but I was eventually going to ask to wrestle. This is just another thing I’ve done to help the company. So, when I do ask to get a chance to wrestle, they can’t say no.
The next pay-per-view on the docket for All Elite Wrestling is Full Gear. It was originally scheduled for November 6th at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri but has since been moved to November 13th. There is currently a Katt Williams comedy show scheduled to take place on the 13th at Chaifetz Arena.
