AEW Injury News: Paul Wight/Big Show undergoes multiple major surgeries, gives update  image

Things are beginning to look up for at least one WWE legend after a scary past few weeks, physically. Paul Wight a.k.a. The Big Show underwent major surgery on not one, not two, not three, but four parts of his body with the goal of finally escaping his longtime battle with pain and discomfort.

And these were not minor surgeries, in and of themselves, as The Big Show revealed — being in great spirits after undergoing such an ordeal.

“Today was a great day! Grateful,” he said, via Instagram. “Both knees, both hips replaced. No pain! Well, other than the hard work to get back into shape. That’s not egg shaped. Lol.”

It goes without saying this is fantastic news for the 52-year-old, a legend in wrestling who began his career helping to push WCW to its peak as a member of the NWO before going on to become a multi-time champion in WWE — also enjoying an ECW run with Paul Heyman and, currently, doing his thing for AEW.

He’s feeling better than he has been in a while, so maybe a future WWE cameo is in the cards at some point in the future, whenever he and AEW decide to part ways.

WELLLLLL….
