Former WWE Champion Sets Sights on Meeting Inspirational Star During WrestleMania Weekend

The wrestling world is buzzing with excitement as WrestleMania 41 approaches, and one former champion has his sights set on a meaningful encounter that goes beyond the scripted drama of the ring. Big E has publicly expressed his desire to meet one of the industry’s most inspirational comeback stories during the Las Vegas festivities.

During a recent appearance on Sportskeeda’s “Bowks Talking Bouts” with Dylan Bowker, Big E opened up about his admiration for TNA star Chris Bey. The 29-year-old performer suffered what was described as a life-threatening injury in late October 2024, but stunned the wrestling world with his remarkable recovery that culminated in an emotional walk to the ring during a public appearance.

The Powerhouse of Positivity revealed that despite never having met Bey personally, he’s been deeply moved by his recovery journey. With Bey being a Las Vegas native and WrestleMania 41 set to take place in the same city, Big E sees the perfect opportunity for their paths to cross.

Seeing Chris doing a dip to get out of a chair and start walking was such a beautiful thing to see. I don’t think I’ve ever met him in person, but I know so many people who do know him, and they’re always said glowing things about him. I know he’s from Vegas and we’re going to Vegas for WrestleMania, so hopefully there’s a chance I bump into him and to say how much of an inspiration he is.
