As previously reported, Big Show returned last night on Raw for the first time since 2018. He was the surprise tag team partner for Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens against Seth Rollins and Authors of Pain. Following the event, he discussed returning after dealing with a hip injury. You can check out that backstage and interview and some highlights below.

Big Show on his return: “Tonight was amazing. After going through five hip surgeries in a year-and-a-half, to be able to take a phone call from a friend, a peer in the business, to come out in front of this incredible crowd tonight, and get back in the ring in almost a-year-and-a-half, and be competitive… I’m just extremely humbled and grateful. They say what doesn’t break you makes you stronger, and I think my faith in my career, and my faith in myself, and faith in this business was tested for the past two years like it’s never been tested before. And I’m just extremely grateful for the fans, and we’ll see what happens next week.”

Big Show on next week’s “fist fight” match: “*Laughs* Let me get this right. Somebody wanted a fist fight with me in the match? Somebody doesn’t like AOP or Seth Rollins, Oh my gosh, that’s funny! Thank you! *Laughs*”
