Big E lands hosting role for WWE RAW Classics on Netflix
Former WWE Champion transitions to hosting duties as Netflix partnership brings new opportunities amid New Day storyline developments
Big E has secured a hosting position for WWE RAW Classics, a new project set to debut on Netflix. The announcement comes as part of WWE’s content expansion strategy ahead of RAW’s move to the streaming platform.
The former WWE Champion has maintained a consistent presence on WWE programming through his role hosting various kick-off shows since March 2022. This new position solidifies his continued involvement with the company amid speculation about his contract status.
The recent development follows a dramatic shift in Big E’s on-screen relationship with The New Day. On the December 2 episode of RAW, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods rejected his offer to serve as their manager, leading to a heel turn by the duo who claimed E had become a burden to the group.
Big E expands media presence with Peacock series debut
While navigating his evolving role within WWE, Big E has broadened his media footprint with an appearance in Peacock’s new series “Laid,” which premiered on December 19. The timing coincides with ongoing storyline developments involving his former New Day allies.
The tension between the longtime teammates intensified after Kingston and Woods responded negatively to Big E’s management proposal.
The situation reached a new level when Rey Mysterio removed The New Day from the locker room, highlighting the growing discord within the formerly unified group.
