Backstage Update: Real Trump To WWE?, WM23 Plans, Big Show's Status

At this moment, it is not expected that Paul Wight (Big Show) will return for WrestleMania. Previously, it was believed that Wight might be rested and healed enough to compete. The original idea was for Wight to wrestle against his good friend Hulk Hogan. Of course a lot can still happen between now and WrestleMania, so you can never say never. The ball is in Wight's court.

The projected plan or idea in the WWE now is that Donald Trump may have some involvement at WrestleMania. According to Dave Scherer of PWInsider, the idea now is that any involvement from Trump may be his being in the corner of a wrestler or wrestlers during a match at WrestleMania. On the opposite corner would be none other than Vince McMahon. If this projected plan or idea goes through, that would almost eliminate any plan for a Mick Foley and Vince McMahon match. As reported previously here on the site, Foley has been lobbying for months to have a match against McMahon at this year's WrestleMania. Foley's last appearance on WWE television was back in the fall on an episode of Raw, when he was "fired" after kissing McMahon's rear. Again, I would like to stress that any talk of Trump being involved at WrestleMania is just a projected plan or idea at this point. Nothing has been confirmed and it is very well possible that Trump will not make any appearances in the WWE.
