QT Marshall

Michael Cuellari, born July 16, 1985 in Livingston, New Jersey, is better known to wrestling fans as QT Marshall. An American professional wrestler, he currently works for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as Vice President of Show and Creative Coordination, while also competing in its sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). Before AEW, he made appearances for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), where he held the AAA Latin American Championship once. Marshall also owns 1 Fall Wrestling (1FW), an independent promotion based in McDonough, Georgia.

Alongside Cody Rhodes and Glacier, Marshall co-owns and trains wrestlers at The Nightmare Factory, a training facility originally called One Fall Power Factory. Over his career, he has worked numerous independent shows, with sporadic ROH appearances and four matches in WWE. A documentary about his WWE tryout, The Wrestler: A Q.T. Marshall Story, won Best Documentary at the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con Film Festival.

In AEW, Marshall has been a key behind-the-scenes figure, helping shape creative direction while also stepping into the ring. He has faced top stars like Cody Rhodes and been part of the Nightmare Family stable. His work spans dozens of matches across multiple promotions, and he continues to build his own brand through 1FW. Marshall's path from independent wrestler to executive and trainer shows a man deeply invested in the sport's future.[edit]

Growing up in New Jersey, Cuellari was a devoted wrestling fan from childhood. He began formal training at the One Fall Power Factory in McDonough, Georgia, a school run by veteran wrestler Glacier. Wrestling under his real name and later as QT Marshall, he spent years on the independent circuit, honing his craft in small venues across the Southeast. A key moment came when he earned a tryout with WWE, a process documented in the film The Wrestler: A Q.T. Marshall Story. That film, which won Best Documentary at the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con Film Festival, captured his near-miss with the industry's biggest stage. Before his AEW signing, Marshall also appeared sporadically for Ring of Honor and had four matches for WWE, but never secured a full-time contract.[edit]

Marshall's breakthrough arrived in 2019 when he signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He quickly became a trusted behind-the-scenes figure, promoted to Vice President of Show and Creative Coordination, where he helps shape the creative direction of AEW television. In the ring, he became a prominent member of the Nightmare Family stable, allied with Cody Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes, and feuded with top stars like Lance Archer and Brian Cage. In 2023, he won the AAA Latin American Championship, his first major title outside AEW. As of 2026, Marshall continues to work for AEW and ROH, and operates his own independent promotion, 1 Fall Wrestling (1FW), in McDonough, Georgia.[edit]

QT Marshall is perceived in the wrestling community as a reliable, hard-working figure who is equally valuable behind the scenes as a producer and in front of the camera as a wrestler. His in-ring persona has ranged from a comedic foil to a serious competitor. He does not have a widely recognized signature style or a large, organized fandom with a specific name. Media coverage often highlights his versatility and the trust placed in him by AEW management.[edit]

QT Marshall currently holds no placement within the iFANN Global Top 1,000 rankings or any scope-specific list, a status confirmed by the August 2026 evaluation cycle. While the Global Fame Engine has processed his data, he does not currently occupy a numbered position in the published hierarchy. This absence of a rank reflects his primary function as an executive and enhancement talent rather than a mainstream celebrity with mass-market visibility metrics that drive global ranking algorithms. His professional footprint is substantial within the wrestling industry, yet it lacks the widespread cultural penetration required for a top-tier placement. The audience surrounding him consists of general wrestling enthusiasts who follow AEW and Ring of Honor programming, but there is no distinct, organized fanbase with a formal name or specific rituals dedicated solely to Marshall. Unlike stars who command their own movements or have followers who engage in coordinated campaigns, Marshall's supporters interact with him primarily through his work as a producer and trainer. His social media presence serves business functions for his roles at AEW and 1FWrestling rather than acting as a hub for a dedicated cult following. There are no documented fan clubs, charity drives led by his followers, or inside jokes that define a unique community culture. The lack of a named fandom underscores his reputation as a reliable utility player whose value lies in his versatility behind the scenes and his ability to elevate others in the ring, rather than in generating a separate layer of pop-culture mythology.[edit]

Michael Cuellari, known professionally as QT Marshall, was born on July 16, 1985, in Livingston, New Jersey, and is of Italian-American descent. He co-owns the independent promotion 1 Fall Wrestling based in McDonough, Georgia, and operates the training facility The Nightmare Factory alongside Cody Rhodes and Glacier. In 2017, a documentary covering his WWE tryout won Best Documentary at San Diego Comic-Con. Marshall previously held the AAA Latin American Championship, a title he secured during a run in Mexico. Recent years have added specific incidents to his record, including a notable injury scare at Double or Nothing where he suffered a fall that temporarily prevented him from walking out of the arena. Another memorable match occurred at Maple Leaf Pro, where actor Paul Walter Hauser sent Marshall into barbed wire, resulting in visible blood during a segment involving guest talent. These events, while significant to his recent history, remain documented news items rather than folklore.[edit]
