Despite his questionable booking over the last few years, Big Show is actually one of the most successful wrestlers in WWE. He has won 5 World Championships in Vinces company (2 WWE, 1 ECW and 2 World Heavyweight Championships), both secondary singles championships, 8 tag team championships, the Andre the Giant Memorial Trophy and, finally, he has won several Slammys as both a singles wrestler and as part of a team. In other words, theres literally nothing left for him to do in WWE. The only thing he could strive for is winning the Royal Rumble, but thats not a realistic goal for him. Other than that, his only other purpose would be to put other wrestlers over using his status and stature. However, his size is no longer a major attraction in itself, and his status with WWE has fallen so much that being a giant is no longer synonymous with being an unstoppable force. Big Show doesnt have any particular direction to follow, unlike other wrestlers. For many years, the Undertaker had his Streak to look forward to, which drew in viewers far and wide; while Kanes affiliation with the Authority has guaranteed him a position on the show, no matter how bizarre it might seem. Big Shows just lost in the shuffle, which begs the question of how you can lose someone as big as him in the first place.
