WWE offered Big Show a one-year $250,000 deal through February 2008 for intellectual property rights. He turned down the deal, which opened up a lot of eyes. The deal wouldn't have required him to wrestle. They offered the deal so that he's be aligned with the company in case he was to return. In the future, WWE is expected to offer deals similar to this to wrestlers that no long want to wrestle full-time so that they can continue to produce new merchandise on them, and more importantly, to prevent them from going to other organizations.
The latest estimates peg Triple H to return to the ring in August, just in time for SummerSlam.
