WWE fans were thrilled to see Big E, a beloved member of The New Day, reunite with his stablemates Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, sparking hopes of a potential return to the ring. However, the 38-year-old wrestling superstar has been out of action since March 2022, when he suffered a broken neck during a SmackDown match.
The incident occurred when Ridge Holland botched a belly-to-belly superplex outside the ring, leaving Big E with a devastating injury. Although he has been providing updates on his recovery, fans are still waiting for his return to in-ring action. The New Day’s reunion, which also featured World Tag Team Champion R-Truth, has raised questions about Big E’s future in WWE.
In recent weeks, Big E has been vocal about the challenges he faced during his early days in WWE. Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, he expressed doubts about getting hired in today’s system, citing the vastly different tryout process. In his time, Big E had a modest tryout in front of a small audience in an empty warehouse, unlike today’s stars who get to try out ahead of major events like WrestleMania.
This has led to speculation about Big E’s future in WWE, with some wondering if he would fit into the company’s current system. Despite his absence from in-ring action, Big E has remained involved with WWE, making appearances and even participating in the panel for the WrestleMania kickoff shows last month.
As Kofi Kingston battles on in the King of the Ring Tournament, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Big E will join him in the ring soon. While there is no confirmation on his return, the reunion with The New Day has sparkled hope that Big E may once again don his boots and get back to what he loves – wrestling. Only time will tell if WWE fans will see the charismatic superstar back in action, but for now, the wait continues.
