WWE.com announced that Wight "Big Show" is taking time off from the ring to heal injuries he has sustained during wrestling in ECW. In a interview he said quote, "I’m a raw-boned bastard that breaks things and moves the immovable objects. When I’m injured, I can’t do those things. I’m much more valuable healthy both mentally and physically, and this hiatus will help me to get there.

He was suffering from a lot of health issues. They took a turn for the worst after the Extreme elimination chamber. He decided to take some time off to recover.

On break after injury
ECW
At WWE vs. ECW Head to Head on June 7, 2006, Wight jumped to the returning ECW brand by removing his RAW shirt to reveal an ECW shirt during a twenty man battle royal including members of the RAW and SmackDown rosters against members of the ECW roster. He went on to win the match for ECW by eliminating Randy Orton over the ropes. Big Show went on to appear at One Night Stand on June 11, 2006, attacking Tajiri, Super Crazy and the Full Blooded Italians after their tag team match, thus turning heel once again.
On the July 4, 2006 episode of ECW on Sci Fi, Wight beat Rob Van Dam to win the ECW World Championship with the assistance of ECW's General Manager Paul Heyman. The victory made him the first ever professional wrestler to hold the WWE Championship, WCW World Heavyweight Championship and ECW World Championship. Over the next several weeks, Wight defeated many other wrestlers from other brands, such as Ric Flair, Kane, Batista and The Undertaker to retain his championship. However, he lost to the Undertaker at the Great American Bash in the first ever Punjabi Prison match, acting as a substitute for The Great Khali. Proceeding this he was also in a feud with Sabu, whom he defeated at SummerSlam.
Soon after, he joined Vince and Shane McMahon in feuding against D-Generation X. At Unforgiven, Wight and the McMahons were defeated by DX in the first ever Handicap Hell in a Cell match.
On November 5, 2006 at Cyber Sunday he faced John Cena and King Booker in a Champion of Champions match. The fans voted for King Booker's World Heavyweight Championship to be on the line. Booker won the match following interference from Kevin Federline, who was just beginning a feud with Cena at the time.
At Survivor Series 2006, Cena wrestled Big Show in a traditional 10 Man Survivor Series Tag Team Match, with Cena and ECW newcomer Bobby Lashley leaving as the sole survivors of the match after Cena pinned Big Show after an F-U.
Wight began a feud with Lashley, who left SmackDown to join the ECW brand to participate in the Extreme Elimination Chamber match at December to Dismember for the ECW World Championship. At the event, Lashley pinned Wight to win the match and claim the ECW Championship. On December 6, 2006, following an unsuccessful rematch, WWE.com announced that Wight is taking time off from the ring to heal injuries he has sustained during wrestling in ECW. In an interview he said quote, "I’m a raw-boned bastard that breaks things and moves the immovable objects. When I’m injured, I can’t do those things. I’m much more valuable healthy both mentally and physically, and this hiatus will help me to get there.
