Big E On Lack Of Follow Up Following Him Being Removed From The New Day: I Think It’s A Very Real Criticism
Big E spoke to Sports Illustrated’s Jon Alba regarding the lack of follow up after being kicked out of The New Day by Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston in December of 2024.
Below is what Big E had to say:
“I think that is a very real criticism,” he said. “Creative, as you know, is a give and take. I’m only one component of it. There are a lot of other people involved. The creative team kind of just talked to me about the general idea and I initially thought at least being able to kind of, not pass the baton, but if Kofi and Woods were going to work with another team, and I was able to kind of give them my blessing, or I had an idea I wanted to do around Rumble to kind of foil Kofi and Woods. Because I’m with you in that, us continuing to build this angle or to build heat with someone who’s not coming back, I think doesn’t make sense. It leads fans astray. But I thought if anything, Okay, if we’re going to do this, there’s a way for me to kind of pass the torch to someone else or give them my blessing, or say, I’m aligned with you, or say, whatever it is.”
