Tuesday was very busy for the production crew, builders, and volunteers at the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition site in Horry County.

Early in the morning, the foundation was poured for the Suggs' new home, and by early afternoon, framing had started.

Then hundreds of people gathered to watch demolition.

A big part of that, WWE's Big Show.

The wrestling star was among those touched by what's being done for the Suggs family.

"You have to be one cold hearted person not to walk away from this with tears in your eyes. I mean this is truly amazing to give something like this to a family," he told NewsChannel 15.

He was joined by R-Truth and WWE Diva's The Bella Twins.

But these divas didn't mind a little hard work while touring the new home with Extreme Makeover Designer Paige Hemmis.

"It kind of feels like when you're a kid building forts again. We're out here building stuff. I feel like a little kid playing in dirt," The Bella Twins said.

Then it was time for the WWE stars to join Ty Pennington and the design team as they demolished the house from the inside out.

Then they took to the stage for a show, complete with fireworks, which were provided by Bay Fireworks.

"It's a great cause. It's for good people and it's a good community and we do a lot of work here and we have a base of operations we do a lot of work, we thought it would be great," said Dennis Brady, Bay Fireworks CEO.
