If I had to make up a storyline and book a feud for him and seeing as he's signed until 2018, this will be a long one.
And I don't just mean in terms of time.
Anyway, have Big Show do what's he's doing, all the while, the fans keep harassing him to retire. This continues up until The Royal Rumble, when he loses his match against whoever and he cries for the millionth time on camera.
The next night on Raw, he addresses the fans and lets them know that he knows that they've all been begging him to retire, but that he isn't going to do it and that he doesn't have to do what the fans want him to do.
Big Show then goes on a massive losing streak, where he always gets more frustrated after every loss and the fans keep chanting to him to retire, but Big Show doesn't do it. Eventually, after a shitonne of losses, WrestleMania 32 arrives and Big Show yet again loses his match. Now, he has over 85,000 people in the AT&T Stadium chanting at him to retire.
Big Show snaps and concedes. He announces there and then that he will retire, effective immediately.
The next night on Raw, Big Show comes out and tells the fans that he has retired, but that he loves the business too much to just walk away from it and that he still wants to be involved in it, like JBL has done. Big Show then tries his hand at commentary but it doesn't work out. The following week, he tries out being an interviewer, but that doesn't work out either.
Eventually, he tries out being a referee and it works out. For the next year and a half, Big Show is a referee. Everyone eventually gets use to having a giant referee kicking about and nobody thinks anything of it. During that period, Big Show gets similar abuse to what referees usually receive from wrestlers, but Big Show doesn't retaliate, because he's a WWE official and they don't hit superstars. They just point to their WWE badge when challenged.
Then Hell in a Cell 2017 rolls around and Big Show (by this time, going by his real name of Paul Wight) messes up a count costing a heel their championship. The heel complains and ridicules Paul Wight and Wight gets reprimanded by Triple H and the decision is reversed by Triple H.
Paul Wight continues to get more abuse from the heels as they see him as an easy target and a way to look big, as they can abuse a giant without any consequences from him. The heel from Hell in a Cell has a match on Raw and Paul Wight doesn't notice that his foot is on the rope as he's getting pinned and Wight counts to three and the heel loses.
Right after the match, the heel shouts in Paul Wight's face and then slaps him and forces him to apologise. Wight then apologises.
This abuse of Paul Wight from the heel keeps happening over the next month but it slowly gets more extreme. Eventually at Survivor Series 2017, Wight is banned from refereeing and is sent to NXT to retrain as a referee, as he is seen as being a liability. At the same PPV, the heel loses his championship.
Some time has passed and while Paul Wight was away training, the heel becomes number one contender again for the WWE Championship at The Royal Rumble. Wight has passed his training and is back refereeing. Nobody thinks anything of it and the past isn't brought up on TV. Paul Wight just appears in the ring at the beginning of a match one night and nothing is said about it.
The Royal Rumble comes along and Paul Wight is the referee for the WWE Championship match. The heel keeps gets close calls and he becomes more and more frustrated as the match progresses. Eventually, the heel loses it and goes off on Paul Wight. Shouting in his face, slapping him and eventually, he spits in Paul Wight's face.
Paul Wight is about to lose his shit, all the while, the crowd are going mad, wanting him to KO the heel, but he doesn't. The champion then rolls up the heel and Paul Wight does a fast count and the champion wins, leaving the heel furious.
The next night at the end of Raw, Triple H is furious and calls Paul Wight out to the ring. Triple H launches a tirade at Wight, eventually ending it with Paul Wight's firing, telling him that he's no longer a WWE referee.
Paul Wight then punches Triple H in the face, knocking him out. Wight then picks up the microphone and says "But I am a WWE Superstar". Raw ends.
The following week, Paul Wight is in the ring and announces that The Big Show is back and that he's going to be coming after everyone that's pissed him off during his time as a referee.
So one by one, week after week, the heels get decimated. Eventually, it clicks to the heel from Hell in a Cell that constantly abused him, that Big Show will be coming after him soon. So he decides to keep watching his back and he becomes edgy and constantly terrified. But Big Show doesn't comes anywhere near him.
Then, at Fastlane/Elimination Chamber (whatever), the heel is in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship. He's in his pod and he's the first to be called into the match, but he doesn't leave his pod. Instead, he locks himself inside and throws away the key. The match continues and eventually it's only the heel and the face champion in the match. The champion is standing in the ring, shouting at the heel to come out of his pod, but the heel refuses.
Then the lights go out.
The lights then come back on and the face has disappeared, but standing where he was, is a pissed off Big Show. The heel absolutely shits himself and tries to escape his pod but he can't, because he locked it and threw the key away. Big Show approaches the pod and punches a hole through it, grabs the heel, and pulls the heel through the glass.
He then proceeds to absolutely obliterate the heel. So much so that the heel is completely KO'd and (maybe) covered in blood. After a good few minutes of that, the lights go out, then on and the champion is back in the ring with Big Show. The champion gets the pin and retains.
The next night, Big Show addresses the fans and says that now all the wrongs have been made right, he can retire happy and announces his retirement, and that it'll be at WrestleMania. He asks Kane (who is a face) if he would like to face him in his retirement match, as they're both really good friends who have been through a lot together. Kane accepts.
WrestleMania arrives and Big Show makes his way to the ring. While he's waiting for Kane, a steel cage (from a previous match) is lowered, only stopping short of the ring, but trapping Big Show inside. The titantron then shows Kane backstage being attended to by medics and it's insinuated that he was attacked backstage.
Triple H's music hits and out he comes. He announces that Kane is in no condition to have a match tonight, but that he has found a suitable replacement, or two.
The heel Big Show nearly killed at Fastlane/Elimination Chamber (whatever) emerges from the crowd, along with the other heels that Big Show attacked previously. They all run under the cage and into the ring and proceed to attack Big Show.
Triple H wishes Big Show good luck in his last ever match and walks away.
The match is now a 5 (or maybe more) on 1 steel cage match, which after a struggle, Big Show wins, by chokeslamming the heel he nearly killed at Fastlane/Elimination Chamber (whatever) off the top of the cage and on to the other heels, causing the ring to break, but not all the way to the floor.
The next night on Raw, Big Show addresses the fans, says a speech and says thank you for everything and leaves.
The Big Show officially retires.
