WWE Universe Chants “Thank You Big Show” After His Match With Braun Strowman
Last night on WWE RAW, Braun Strowman faced off against Big Show in the main event. Big Show connected with a Chokeslam and a KO Punch but Strowman was able to kick out of both of them. Strowman lifted Big Show up on his shoulders and planted him with a Running Powerslam but Big Show kicked out at two. The match ended with a bang as both gigantic Superstars climbed up the turnbuckle. Strowman hoisted Big Show up and hit a massive Superplex and the ring collapsed. WWE RAW went off the air with Strowman standing tall in what was left of the ring.

WWE has uploaded a couple of videos of what went down after RAW concluded. Big Show was shown exiting the collapsed ring as the crowd chanted “thank you Big Show!”. Big Show has made it known that Wrestlemania 33 was his final Wrestlemania. It is not known when he will call it a career, but last night’s crowd showed him a lot of respect. Big Show acknowledged the crowd just before he stepped backstage.
John Cone Tumbles Out Of The Collapsed Ring
Big Show and Braun Strowman were not the only ones caught in the carnage of the ring collapsing. WWE referee John Cone took one hell of a fall when the ring imploded. Cone was leaning up against the ropes when Strowman and Big Show fell to the canvas. The ring posts caved in and the ring imploded. Thus, there was nothing for Cone to lean on anymore and he tumbled to the floor.
