Paul Wight returned to the ring because Sting’s son needed rescuing

The Giant formerly known as The Big Show in WWE, Paul Wight, has been talking about getting back in the ring for a few months. The 54-year-old has also been showing off the hard work he put into his goal of getting physical on a pro wrestling show for the first time since early 2024, when he did so on Chris Jericho’s cruise. Before the Beach Break edition of Dynamite last night (July 8) in Fort Lauderdale, Wight was doing promotional work for the live show in Florida and said he might “slap some people around” for the folks in attendance. We also thought we spied him in ring attire on the pre-show Twitch stream. It wasn’t just a tease, and that was his ring gear. We saw it when he made his way down to the ring to save Steve Borden, Jr. and Sting’s son’s tag partner Kiran Grey when they were being attacked by The Swirl.
