Let’s take a look at her marriage. 

Melissa Ann Piavis’s Husband

Melissa Ann Piavis is a social media personality who rose to fame after marrying Paul Wight, aka The Big Show. 

Melissa met her husband, Paul Wight, in 1995 when he signed his first contract with WCW. They immediately got connected and started dating. After a long period of dating, Melissa and Paul decided to settle down.

Paul had another passion that was even more essential than his marriage. Despite the fact that it hampered the marriage, he showed no regret.

The main problem for Melissa was her husband loved wrestling more than their marriage. It was bothering her too much, and the final straw for her was when her partner prioritized his profession on the day of their second wedding anniversary. 

It turns out that Big Show debuted on the same day as his second marriage anniversary in 1999. Yes, the time he ripped out of the stage at the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in 99.

We all can predict where their relationship went from there. No matter how much he loved Piavis, he would always prioritize being a wrestler over being a husband. He went on to win the WWF title in late 1999, only to lose it in 2000. But that was not the only thing he lost that year; Paul also lost his wife, Melissa that year. 

Melissa started to live a separate life from her husband. But they didn’t get the divorce immediately because of their daughter. Melissa and Paul welcomed their daughter, Cierra Wight, on November 28, 1998. They wanted their daughter to grow up in a happy household, but they couldn't resolve their marital issues and officially got divorced in 2002. 

After their separation, Cierra did live with both of her parents with love.
