Before departing in 2021, Big Show was a staple in WWE programming for nearly two decades. Now, fans are wondering if he will ever return to the company given his current stint with AEW.
Big Show’s professional wrestling career took off in 1995 as a member of WCW, fighting under “The Giant” moniker.
He eventually left WCW for WWE in 1999, adopting the “Big Show” persona, which would stick with him through 2021.
Big Show served as both a heel and a face during his WWE tenure, but his most popular runs came as a villainous character.
