Wight, formerly known as The Big Show in WWE, is a multiple time world champion in both WWE and WCW. Wight made his WWE debut at the St. Valentines Day Massacre PPV event during the Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahon steel cage match. Wight tossed Austin through the cage, which ultimately gave Austin the win and the right to face The Rock for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 15. Wight had a long run in WCW with memorable matches against Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and others.

He will face Austin Green on Elevation this week. There is no indication as to whether or not he’s priming up for more in-ring activity after this match.
