Big E made his much-awaited return to WWE RAW this past Monday, but things didn't turn out the way he would have hoped. The former champion was booted out of The New Day by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, who told the fans E wouldn't ever be cleared to compete.

Speaking on Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, WrestleVotes provided an update on Big E's in-ring return following the segment that went down between all three members of The New Day on RAW.
"What they are hearing about Big E is to be determined. Nobody knows if he's cleared or not cleared. They're keeping it kind of quiet, which leads me to think he might be close to being cleared. I can't report that. I can't say that with certainty." [30:20 onwards]

However, WrestleVotes said he believed E's in-ring return might happen sooner than later because of how the angle featuring The New Day played out on RAW this past Monday.
"But just the way everything went down last night, and the fact that there's no new information, I guess that it's a possibility he can be back in the ring sooner rather than later." [29:50 onwards]

For those unaware, E's WWE career was cut short following a botched belly-to-belly suplex on SmackDown two years ago. It remains to be seen if E will get the medical clearance he needs to get back inside the squared circle.

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.
Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.
He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.
While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.
When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
