Matt Hardy analyzes Big E's potential WWE return after emotional RAW segment

Matt Hardy shared insights about Big E’s possible return to WWE following a compelling segment on Monday Night Raw. During his podcast “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy,” the wrestling veteran analyzed the emotional confrontation involving The New Day members.

The segment featured Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods addressing Big E’s absence, with Woods making a notable statement about his friend’s medical clearance status. Hardy pointed out this specific reference could indicate future plans for the former WWE Champion.

“The mention of medical clearance seemed deliberately placed in the segment,” Hardy explained on his podcast. He noted how Woods’ direct statement about Big E never getting cleared stood out as particularly significant, suggesting it might have been included for a specific narrative purpose.

The discussion highlighted Kingston’s performance during the segment, where he displayed a different side of his character. Hardy praised Kingston’s ability to step away from his traditional positive demeanor to deliver a more serious and confrontational approach, especially when discussing Big E’s neck injury.

Fan reaction signals potential storyline development

The Raw segment generated an organic response from the live audience, who began chanting “Big E Rocks” rather than showing support for The New Day as a unit. This reaction, combined with the sympathetic portrayal of Big E’s situation, suggests WWE Creative might be laying groundwork for future developments.

Hardy emphasized the importance of following through with the storyline’s strong beginning. The veteran performer’s analysis indicates that WWE’s creative direction, under Triple H’s leadership, typically includes such specific references only when they serve a larger narrative purpose.
