Big E has been out of the ring since his neck injury in March 2022, but he still works with WWE. He appears as a panelist at big events and helps with online content.
Many have often wondered about his contract extension, but it wasn’t a big topic until he returned to Monday Night Raw to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of “New Day.”
