I don’t have live-access to news feeds right now, but I can share a concise status based on the latest publicly reported details up to now and how to verify the very latest.
Direct answer
- As of the most recent widely reported updates through 2024–early 2025, Paul Wight (Big Show) has been primarily appearing in non-wrestling roles with AEW (commentary, board/leadership roles, and occasional on-screen appearances) and has spoken about recovery from knee and other joint surgeries. There hasn’t been a consistently announced full-time in-ring return date into mainstream wrestling programming in 2025 or 2026, though there have been hints and discussions about potential appearances at special events. For the latest, check AEW’s official communications and major wrestling news outlets.
How to verify the latest
- Check AEW’s official website and AEW social channels for any announcements about returning to in-ring action or specific appearances.
- See reputable wrestling news sites for updates on his health, injures/surgeries, and any confirmed segments or matches. Examples include WrestleNet, Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online, Fightful, and Sportskeeda.
What to look for in updates
- Any confirmation of a scheduled match or appearance at a large event (e.g., a pay-per-view or stadium show).
- Updates on his knee/hip recovery and fitness status.
- Any role changes (e.g., continued commentary, leadership positions, or board roles) versus in-ring activity.
