Big E on His Future, WWE Contract, and New Day’s 10-Year Anniversary
Former WWE Champion Big E has been making headlines ahead of the 10-year anniversary celebration of The New Day on WWE Raw. Despite being out of in-ring action since a severe neck injury in March 2022, Big E is reportedly backstage for tonight’s Raw, sparking hopes among fans for his appearance during the celebration.
The latest update on Big E’s WWE contract status indicates that, as of this summer, WWE had not added any injury time to his contract. Big E, along with his New Day teammates Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, signed five-year deals in 2019 that are set to expire at the end of 2024. However, there is no confirmation on whether Big E has re-signed or agreed to a new deal since then.
In a recent column for The Players Tribune, Big E opened up about his wrestling career and his future. He expressed that he is at peace with the possibility that his in-ring career may be over due to his neck injury. Big E has been contributing to WWE in other capacities, such as appearing on pre-and-post-show panels for premium live events. He is excited to explore new paths, including hosting, acting, voice work, and filmmaking.
Big E also shared a personal and poignant account of his battle with depression before his WWE career. In the same piece for The Players Tribune, he detailed the debilitating effects of depression, including severe headaches, hallucinations, and feelings of dissociation. He credited his football coach for recognizing his issues and helping him seek therapy, which was a crucial turning point in his life.
The New Day’s 10-year anniversary celebration marks a significant milestone for the group, which has become one of the most beloved and successful tag teams in WWE history. Despite the challenges faced by Big E, the group’s legacy continues to inspire fans, and Big E’s future endeavors are highly anticipated.
