Big E has been sidelined since 2022 due to a neck injury

In April 2024, The Florida native provided an update on his injury and stated that he was now living pain-free. He is also undergoing stem cell treatment as per recent reports.
The New Day’s Powerhouse Big E signed with the WWE in 2009. The 209-pound tank of a man entered the WWE and started making a name for himself in the ring.
The sheer presence and command of the ring highlighted his success in the promotion. He went on to win the NXT Championship, the Intercontinental title and the WWE Championship, cementing his name in history.

The two stars faced the Alpha Academy (Otis and Akira Tozawa) on the 11/25 episode of the Red brand following the announcement. The faction faced quick defeat as they were busy arguing when the match began.
Following the defeat Woods and Kingston started arguing backstage, and the argument turned personal as both stars started criticizing each other for their failures.

Since the announcement fans have been speculating if the powerhouse of the faction will make his return to join the festivities next week. While he is involved in WWE programming backstage there is still no update on his in-ring return.
