5 WWE Superstars who threatened to ignore the script

#4 The Big Show (Floyd Mayweather segment on WWE RAW)

The Big Show has had lots of memorable WrestleMania moments during his two decades in WWE, but none came bigger than his WrestleMania 24 match against boxer Floyd Mayweather.

In the build-up to the event, Mayweather legitimately punched The Big Show in the face multiple times on an episode of RAW, breaking the 7-footer’s nose.

Reflecting on the match in 2017 with WWE commentator Michael Cole, The Big Show revealed that he was ready to ignore the script and attack Mayweather until Shane McMahon stepped in and calmed him down.

“If I’d have got my hands on Floyd Mayweather, there never would have been a WrestleMania angle. The only guy that had the guts to stand in front of me to calm me down was Shane McMahon. Shane comes over to me, he goes, ‘Hey, you okay?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m fine.’ He goes, ‘That was awesome!’ Then it all clicked. I was like, ‘People are gonna talk about this.’”

Mayweather went on to pick up the victory in the No Disqualification encounter after striking The Big Show in the face with a pair of brass knuckles, knocking the WWE Superstar out for a 10-count.
