The WWE Universe has been buzzing on social media in response to a poignant revelation from the sidelined star, Big E.
Big E, the 37-year-old WWE athlete, last participated in the wrestling ring on the March 11, 2022, edition of Friday Night SmackDown. His last match paired him with Kofi Kingston against Sheamus and Ridge Holland.
Unfortunately, during the bout, Big E suffered a severe injury, breaking his neck with fractures in the C1 and C6 vertebrae.
In a recent interview, the New Day member shared his willingness to have temporary replacements for Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods during his absence.
However, both teammates declined the proposal, a decision that resonated with fans and triggered a reaction on social media.
WrestlingWorldCC’s official Twitter handle highlighted Big E’s interview, prompting fans to express their opinions. One fan expressed relief that The New Day chose not to bring in another member temporarily.
I’m glad they said no. E is irreplaceable so if they can’t have him then they should do it with just the two of them like they have been. https://t.co/WgAd1MWA0q

Another fan asserted that Big E is irreplaceable, emphasizing the unique qualities he brings to the group. A similar sentiment was echoed by another fan who believed no other wrestler could fill Big E’s shoes.
Some fans stressed the importance of the chemistry shared by the trio in The New Day, arguing that adding someone else would disrupt their dynamic. On the contrary, another fan considered the idea of bringing in a replacement a horrible one.
Despite the varied responses, many fans applauded Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods for their loyalty to their injured friend. Big E’s absence has left a void, but the unwavering camaraderie among The New Day members resonates positively with the WWE Universe.
In a separate segment on WWE’s The Bump, Big E shared his thoughts on the evolving situation involving The Rock, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins.
Speculating on the potential developments, he hinted at a tag team match with Rhodes and Rollins teaming up against The Great One and The Tribal Chief.
As fans eagerly anticipate Big E’s return to WWE television, the possibility of a reunion with The New Day adds intrigue to the upcoming events leading to WrestleMania XL.
