The New Day’s 10th anniversary celebration on next week’s RAW might proceed without Big E. Promotional materials for the milestone event have featured only Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, raising questions about the former WWE Champion’s participation.

Big E has been absent from WWE programming since suffering a cervical fracture of the spine. While he remains an integral part of The New Day’s legacy, his potential absence from the celebration could be linked to ongoing health considerations.

The timing is particularly notable as Woods and Kingston navigate growing tensions within their partnership. Big E’s presence could help mediate the situation, though his primary focus remains on recovery.

Report suggests Big E could become SmackDown GM

Recent developments point to Big E potentially taking over as SmackDown General Manager, following hints about Nick Aldis returning to in-ring competition.

The New Day member, who has been away since March 2022, could transition into this non-wrestling role.

The move would allow WWE to maintain Big E’s presence while protecting his health. The scenario might involve him announcing his retirement before assuming management duties, creating an opportunity for Aldis to resume his wrestling career.
