What was even the purpose of Big Show's comeback?

[Deleted]

Shows up, loses to Orton, turns heel, hangs out with the Bar a few weeks, turns on them out of nowhere, not been seen since, they retained the tag titles without his help.

So what was even the purpose of having him come back to begin with?

[EvenBaldobombHasAJob]

to show Dolph Ziggler how being a local man is really done.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

He had a yearly alignment turns quota to keep up.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I think they may have just given him something to do for this year, just so there's another year where he's done something.

*shrug*

The Bar will bring in Hiroki Sumi as their new buddy, setting up another epic sumo match for Big Show.

It's important Big Show turns every 3,000 miles.

I think random ideas just pop into Vince's head and he follows through on them sometimes and that's how random little things happen like the Headbangers being on SDL in 2016.

I think the return was solely so they could have someone from the first Smackdown compete on the 1000th.

Then kept him with the Bar to "even the numbers"/transition the titles off The New Day.

I think the company just wanted him back for another run and his body was just struggling to deal with it.

I've asked myself this a lot during Show's career in general.

[BorneAgain]

By doing these two turns, he just earned a free sub sandwich.

He's in the best shape of his life and.......wow, his age and years of not being in said best shape really wore him down. Damn.

The goofy bastard keeps buying strip malls, and they don’t pay for themselves.

[One-Armed Drummer of Defrebel]

If he doesn't f*** up his knees once a year he slips in to a deep depression and buys another strip mall

[edgestar]

To remind us that leather is comfy formal gear.

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

Gotta start setting up that Wrestlemania match with Shaq.

[mcstoklasa]

To bore me?

Vince needed help getting a book off a high shelf and it just led from there.
