WWE legend the Big Show’s career is in doubt after it was announced he will undergo hip surgery.
The wrestling hero – real name Paul Wight – has been suffering with the injury for a number of months.
He is thought to have aggravated the problem during a brutal Steel Cage match against Braun Strowman on Monday Night RAW last week.
Show will now travel to have the op on his right hip this Friday after it was delayed because of the deadly Hurricane Irma.
At 45, he has had a long and hard-fought career and is considering whether or not to pack his in-ring career in.
Show told WWE.com: “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."
Show has been in the WWE since 1999, and before that competed in WCW where he was in the New World Order.
He has won the World Championship belt seven times and the Tag Team titles three times during his 18-year career with the company.
The wrestling icon is also a star outside the ring where he appeared in blockbuster movies such as Jingle All The Way and The Waterboy.
