The WWE Legend known as Big Show has been with AEW since February 2021. Paul Wight helps rising talents in AEW these days, as he did in WWE during his 21-yearn run with the company. One star is revealing how the former Giant took her under his wing.
Summer Rae made her name in WWE from November 2011 – October 2017. She held different roles with WWE, from FCW General Manager in developmental, to a member of Beautiful Fierce Females in NXT, Fandango’s dance partner on RAW, and Tyler Breeze’s manager on SmackDown.
The World’s Largest Athlete made his name as a wrestling legend with the chokeslam. Big Show later used the knockout punch or WMD right hook as his finisher, but also relied on The Final Cut, which is a spinning headlock elbow drop, and the Colossal Clutch, his version of the Camel Clutch.
Big Show doesn’t wrestle much these days in AEW, and while his arsenal is not vast, it includes just what the South Carolina native needs to get the job done. One of his other signature moves is called The Showstopper, which is an inverted leg drop bulldog. Summer Rae used the same move during her in-ring career, but called it Summer Crush.
Summer Rae On Big Show Helping Her In WWE
Summer Rae continues to make various wrestling-related appearances, but has not done much wrestling since WWE released her on October 29, 2017. She worked the 2022 Royal Rumble, but currently works multiple roles with Bare Knuckle Boxing.
Rae recently spoke with talkSPORT Boxing and was asked who she enjoyed working with in WWE. The 41-year-old opened up on how Big Show helped her out and passed on his inverted leg drop bulldog to her.
“I love The Big Show. The Big Show is just amazing. He took me under his wing when I first started. He gave me his finisher, so my finisher is his old finisher, and he’s absolutely lovely,” Summer Rae said.
Rae worked a few indie matches in 2018-2019, but has not wrestled a WWE singles bout since the Superstars taping on July 18, 2016, where she defeated Alicia Fox. Summer recently teased a return to WWE.
