The WWE Universe hasn’t seen Big E since the shocking betrayal by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods during The New Day’s 10th-anniversary celebration. Fans have been clamoring for the powerhouse’s return, and now, they finally have an answer—kind of.
On last night’s Raw, play-by-play commentator Joe Tessitore dropped the bombshell: Big E will join Tessitore and Wade Barrett on the Raw post-show for Netflix, airing on WWE’s YouTube channel. The announcement has reignited speculation about Big E’s in-ring future, even as he remains on the mend from his neck injury.
Could Big E Appear on Raw Next Week?
With Raw’s big January 6 Netflix debut coming up, fans are wondering if Big E will make a surprise appearance during the show itself. The stakes are high: Rey Mysterio has a mystery partner set to team with him against The New Day’s Kingston and Woods. While Big E stepping into the ring alongside Mysterio would break the internet, it seems unlikely given his recovery status.
Still, the possibilities are endless. With John Cena already confirmed for next week’s Raw, along with a rumored influx of SmackDown stars and several members of the LWO hanging around, WWE’s options for Mysterio’s partner are wide open.
Big E’s Role in the Broadcast Booth
While Big E’s in-ring future remains uncertain, his charisma and charm will undoubtedly shine in the broadcast booth. WWE fans will see a new side of the former WWE Champion, and his presence on the Raw post-show will add even more star power to WWE’s Netflix era.
For now, fans can celebrate the return of one of WWE’s most beloved stars, even if it’s not in the capacity they hoped for—yet.
