Charlotte Flair posted a new gym photo after a storyline injury led to her WWE hiatus, as seen below.
Paul Wight, formerly known as The Big Show once had some creative differences with WWE. Sometimes the stars can have some differences backstage, much like Sasha Banks and Naomi had when they walked out of RAW. He allegedly went against instructions and smashed a WWE television monitor backstage. The former WWE World Champion was told not to touch the prop during a segment. According to former writer Matt McCarthy, he disliked the order and reacted by causing serious damage to the screen.
Matt McCarthy opens up on the incident
Speaking on The Universal Wrestling Podcast, McCarthy recalled how legendary WWE personality Teddy Long amusingly responded to the incident:
“I remember one time there was a backstage [segment]. We specifically told Big Show, ‘Don’t touch the TV monitor,’” McCarthy said. “And instead he punched it and it smashed into a thousand pieces. I remember Teddy Long was standing next to me and he goes, ‘Oh my God! They told him not to touch the gimmick and then he punches the gimmick!’”
McCarthy added that the former WCW star was one of the few people he did not want to interact with during his time in WWE:
“I never wanted to tell Big Show any idea that we had, because his first reaction would always be just like, ‘F*** that, I don’t wanna do that. I wanna sit on my bus and play video games.’ Like, ‘All right, very cool. Well, we have a live television show to do.’ But everybody else was super cool.”

Wight is currently signed with AEW as he joined the company last year as a commentator as well as an in-ring performer.
