AEW's Paul Wight (Big Show) revealed that he was 537 pounds at his heaviest and is now sitting at 386 pounds, with a goal of getting down to 350 before returning to in-ring competition, on Insight With chrisvanvliet. ​ Wight reflected on the surgery cycle that has set him back since 2018-2019: "It's been a struggle.

It's almost been like a surgery every year, and it put me so far behind the eight ball, because every one of those surgeries is intensive rehab, therapy, recovery, and not getting any younger." ​ On his approach: "I'm almost 7,000 calorie deficit a week, so that puts me right at a pound and a half, two pounds a week.
