» Big Show was said to be unhappy with the way he was portrayed during the May 25 edition of WWE Monday Night Raw two weeks ago. He was said to be unhappy with being completely blown out of the ring twice in the show by John Cena and Batista hurt his character after they had done so much to rebuild him up on Raw. One response to this within the company was that while it may not have went down the way he liked, it did take two guys to do it instead of one.
