Big Show says he’s hoping to be medically cleared by WWE doctors this week and hopes to be back in the ring within the next couple of weeks if WWE creative has anything for him.
He had this to say in a recent interview with ESPN:
“Hopefully within the next couple of weeks, I will be back in the ring,” Big Show said in an interview at a charity event at the Hackensack Meridian Health Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital in Hackensack, New Jersey, on Tuesday. “That’s the main goal. I’m actually going to try and get cleared Sunday, by [WWE’s] doctors; moving around the ring a little bit. I could be back as soon as the Monday Night Raw after SummerSlam, if they have something for me. Just because I’m healthy, doesn’t mean our creative team is healthy for me yet.”
Big Show underwent hip surgery in late September. He was last on WWE TV almost a year ago on September 4, 2017, where WWE wrote him off (because of the upcoming surgery) via having Braun Strowman powerslam him through the wall of a steel cage.
