Wrestling fans are eagerly awaiting clarity on Big E’s WWE contract as rumors swirl ahead of The New Day’s 10-year celebration. The powerhouse of the beloved faction has been sidelined since early 2022 with a neck injury, leaving many wondering if his WWE deal is still intact or if new terms have been arranged.
Back in 2019, WWE announced that Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods signed matching five-year contracts, which were set to expire at the end of 2024. However, Fightful reports that WWE source believe no injury time has been added to Big E’s deal as of this summer. This detail is notable, as Big E has primarily been involved in non-wrestling activities like digital content, panels, and public appearances since his injury, which still fulfill his contractual obligations.
The report also notes that WWE likely wouldn’t add injury time to Big E’s agreement, as his original deal was signed with the expectation that he’d be performing as an in-ring competitor. Whether the former WWE Champion has quietly re-signed or entered new negotiations remains a mystery. “As of this summer, that was the word“, leaving the door open for possible updates since then.
The timing of this revelation adds even more intrigue as The New Day prepares to celebrate a decade together on WWE Raw. Big E’s presence at the event could provide fans with insight into his future in the company, whether as a competitor, ambassador, or something entirely unexpected. Ringside News will keep you updated if any other information regarding Big E’s status with WWE becomes available.
