Big Show Comments on Criticisms Towards WWE’s Booking of the WWE Championship for Crown Jewel

TMZ Sports held a recent interview with Big Show and one of the topics discussed included Big Show’s thoughts on fans criticisms towards WWE’s booking for the WWE Championship match at next week’s Crown Jewel event.
