Here are the flaws with Big Show helping John Laurinaitis at Over the Limit:
1) If John Laurinaitis loses, then a new GM would be put in place, and would partially owe their job to a 441lbs free agent multi-time World Champion. Big Show has basically got a free ticket to knock Laurinaitis the fuck out and get his way.
2) Even if Big Show remains a "goodie," there is no reason John Cena should need help beating John Laurinaitis. In fact, it kind of screws Johnny Ace.
Therefore, Big Show involvement makes sense only if:
a) Big Show and John Laurinaitis have been planning this all along. Big Show's firing was a pre-emptive method because it was leaked to Laurinaitis somehow that the Board of Directors would pull something like they would, or Johnny Ace is just a super-genius that has all his bases covered.
b) John Cena absolutely destroys Laurinaitis and then says "Oh yeah, there's someone that wants to speak with you." Cue Big Show coming out and knocking Laurinaitis out with the WMD, followed by a big celebration with Cena, and possibly Brodus Clay, Hornswoggle, Naomi, Cameron and Teddy Long.
Brock Lesnar interference would make sense. Lesnar can't be too happy with Cena beating him at Extreme Rules. That being said, if Paul Heyman and Lesnar are close, it would make more sense for Lesnar to actually help Cena terminate Laurinaitis, and for Heyman to use Lesnar's free agent status and his lawsuit against Triple H as leverage to weasel his own way into the General Manager position, giving Heyman and Lesnar ultimate control over the WWE.
Although, given his past with Big Show, it would also make sense for Big Show to be in on this plan. Show has won both the WWE Championship and ECW Championship under Heyman's guidance. Could Big Show help Cena, only to later betray Cena when it comes time to draw battle lines against the onslaught of Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar?
