Big Show's 19-year WWE run has officially come to an end today.

'The World's Largest Athlete' confirmed in a March 2017 interview with SportingNews.com that his current WWE deal expired in February 2018, and as yesterday was the last day of the month, he is now a free agent.

Signing from WCW in 1999, Show debuted at St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House, and soon became a staple. Though often subjected to questionable booking and character direction, Show leaves the company as a four-time WWE/World Heavyweight Champion, and after scooping countless other accolades throughout his career, he's a surefire Hall Of Fame inductee.

Fans may not have seen the last of Show, though. The former Giant has been off television since undergoing hip surgery in September, and while he once claimed he was planning on retiring at the end of his contract, he probably won't want to go out like this.

A big retirement match and/or a Legends deal are entirely possible, as Show looks to be in great shape at the moment. It's telling, too, that WWE haven't confirmed his release, and after close to two decades with the company, he deserves a chance to say "goodbye."
