Recent reports have revealed a major update regarding Big E’s potential return to WWE. The New Day member and former WWE Champion has been sidelined due to a neck injury he sustained during a March 2022 episode of WWE SmackDown. With two years having passed since the incident, Big E has remained out of the ring. However, he has made several appearances on WWE programming during his recovery.

In the absence of Big E, The New Day have faced challenges. With only Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston active, tensions between them have risen. WWE has been addressing this friction for months, and it was on full display again on a recent episode of RAW.

Xavier Woods recently challenged Jey Uso for the Intercontinental Championship, but suffered a frustrating loss. Despite his disappointment, Jey Uso helped Woods to his feet after the match and gave him a handshake. While Kofi Kingston accepted the gesture, Woods rejected it and angrily walked away. This led to Bron Breakker attacking both Uso and Kingston. Woods, who had come to check on Kingston, also fell victim to Breakker's attack.

After the show, Woods confronted him and questioned him about his actions for not helping Jey Uso. However, behind this growing tension lies the manipulative schemes of Karrion Kross. He has been playing games with Woods and driving a wedge between members of The New Day. Amid these signs of a likely rift, recent reports have suggested that Big E could soon be involved in this storyline and could potentially play a pivotal role.
