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.
