The Big Show to Undergo Hip Surgery This Week

It had been previously rumored that The Big Show would be undergoing surgery to repair his hip, which has been bothering him for a while.

This rumor was confirmed today by WWE.com, as they announced that Show will be going under the knife on September 29 of this year.

The company is saying that the injury occurred when the “world’s largest athlete” was thrown through a cage by Braun Strowman on last week’s episode of “Raw.” You can see the attack below:

WWE.com posted an interview with Show, where they asked him about the procedure. You can find some questions and answers below:

WWE.COM: Tell us a little bit about the procedure you are going to have done.

BIG SHOW: I have to have the hip resurfaced. There’s been some traumatic injury done to the hip in the match with Braun Strowman. It’s frustrating as hell to be in the best shape I’ve been in my career, but that match, I kind of put a lot out on the table and I’m paying the price for it now. Going forward, I’m very confident in the medical team that’s doing the surgery … we’re gonna go forward from there and see what my options are.

WWE.COM: After the match, Strowman threw you through the cage and you were able to walk up the ramp. At that point, had the adrenaline wore off and you realized you were hurt?

BIG SHOW: Yeah. I definitely knew because [Braun’s finishing move] was the icing on the cake. I took [the Running Powerslam] and he drove my pelvis into the mat, and I really felt it there. It sucked all the energy right out of me. It’s like taking a battery and draining it immediately when he hit me with it. I didn’t even have the energy to raise my arms. Going through the cage and when I hit, I knew something was wrong, but there’s a lot of fans there, there’s lights there, you don’t want to wallow and cry and flop around and make a big scene. I was trying to be cool about it, but it was very hard for me to put weight on my foot and my hip.

They also talk about Strowman and his future in the company.
