#5. Big E and Xavier Woods were almost fired from WWE
Speaking to Woods while recalling the hardships, Big E said that he and the record-breaking WWE tag team champion had barely escaped getting fired from the company.
Back then, Vince McMahon used to run things. While the former WWE Champion didn’t reveal why they almost got released, Woods’ expression told that it was probably something big.
#4. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods refused to have Big E as the manager of The New Day
Big E said he had a painful experience watching his two best friends fight and bicker amongst themselves. He noted that since The New Day brothers had lost their way, he was going to remind them of who they were every week and become their manager. However, in a shocking turn of events, Kingston and Woods rejected the offer and accused Big E of deserting them.
#3. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods tease a united heel turn
Kingston and Woods have been going back and forth regarding the direction of The New Day. Last week, they also ended up in a heavy verbal spat where they tore each other down by dissing each other’s careers.
However, both wrestlers stood as a united front against Big E and said that he had left them and embraced his desk job and new girlfriend over them. Both of them also joined hands in the end, promising to be together after casting E out.
#2. The New Day may have been resenting Big E for a long time
When accused of deserting The New Day, E said that his neck was broken and he had to leave on medical grounds. But Kofi Kingston didn’t see this as reason enough. He highlighted that several great wrestlers like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, and Edge returned despite their necks breaking. Woods also pointed out that Big E didn’t even have surgery for his injury, and would have returned if he really wanted to.
#1. Big E may never be medically cleared to wrestle
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods hurled several accusations against Big E. They asked him why he chose to return now, after all this time, despite still not having been medically cleared. Moreover, they also claimed that he should tell the WWE Universe the truth, that he will never receive medical clearance to wrestle again.
Thus, the commemoration of The New Day’s 10-year legacy turned out to be an ugly affair for Big E, who has been away from the WWE ring since March 2022. It would be interesting to see what lies ahead for the celebrated faction.
