Former WWE Champion Big E is bound to return on live TV and fans have long been anticipating it. Further, his return is just in time for The New Day’s 10th-anniversary celebration, not to mention reunite with his Superstar buddies Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
However, Big E may also be aware by now that his stablemates are having tensions as of late as this has been going on for quite a while now.
The WWE Universe is expecting that his long-awaited comeback will happen in this week’s edition of WWE RAW and is also musing about what will go down by the time the three Superstars meet inside the ring. With that in mind, here are some of the possibilities.
#5. Big E announcing he is medically cleared
March 11, 2022, was indeed a fateful day for both Big E and his team The New Day. For those unaware this was the day when he suffered a broken neck (fractured C1 and C6 vertebrae) after a botched move during a match on SmackDown.
Since then, he has been sidelined from in-ring competition, though he can still be seen on WWE TV performing non-wrestling stints.
Big has been very vocal about his current status healthwise as he provides updates about his neck. He revealed a few months back that he had undergone stem cell treatment and if everything goes well, an in-ring return could be a possibility.
To that end, the former champ could provide fans with another update and announce that he is medically cleared to wrestle again.
#4. Taking sides between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods
The tension between The New Day members Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods has been escalating as the two Superstars can be seen arguing whether they are backstage or inside the ring. Big E could already be weighing up on things and might take sides with either one of his buddies.
A most notable spot was during last week’s episode of WWE RAW after they lost to Alpha Academy. Kingston and Woods traded verbal blows as they vent out their frustrations at each other.
He will likely bring this up on this week’s RAW and depending on how Kingston and Woods react to it, E could side with either one of them taking the storyline to another level and keeping fans glued to it.
#3. Announcing his retirement
Big E announcing his retirement from in-ring action will certainly be the saddest revelation to fans and a party pooper on The New Day’s 10th-anniversary celebration.
As mentioned in the previous entry, he fractured his C1 and C6 vertebrae during a match that put him out of action. In 2023, he was advised by his doctors to never wrestle again due to the severity of his injuries.
Further, he highlighted at the time that he does not want to pass on inside the squared circle adding that he would like to do some other stuff in his life which is very much understandable.
#2. Addressing Woods’ heel-like behavior
Another possibility that might happen during The New Day’s 10th-anniversary celebration is a spot where he (Big E) confronts Xavier Woods about his volatile behavior towards Kofi Kingston.
In the recently concluded Survivor Series: WarGames, E was asked by Wade Barrett about the backstage argument between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods after their match during last week’s RAW. The former champ was saddened since he knew The New Day’s current situation and refused to respond to Barrett’s inquiry.
He certainly wants to know what’s going on, especially with Woods who is seemingly no longer aligning himself to the team with his recent actions. If such a confrontation comes to fruition, fans can expect Woods to ask Big E questions about what Kingston revealed to him during their backstage argument on RAW.
#1. Convince Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston to make up
Big E becoming a mediator between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods is also a plausible scenario during The New Day’s 10th-anniversary celebration on RAW. He would probably address the elephant in the room as soon as they are reunited inside the ring and ask them what is the root cause of the brewing tension between them.
Doing such a move will either at least pacify his stablemates resulting in a ceasefire between them or trigger something that would end up in an all-out brawl.
Whatever the outcome of their reunion, it sure is interesting to witness what will unfold in this narrative involving one of the most decorated factions in WWE.
