Big E wants to keep being involved.
Big E has not wrestled since suffering a neck injury on the March 11, 2022 episode of WWE SmackDown when he landed wrong after a suplex from Ridge Holland. Big E has stated multiple times that he can live his daily life without issue, but he does not know when he'll return to the ring as he wants to make the best decision for his future.
During his time away from the ring, Big E has remained active with WWE, taking part in NIL tryouts and being a panelist on the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff event.
Speaking to What Culture, Big E was asked if he would be more open to more hosting and speaking roles like announcing.
"I think about my time starting off in the company, by no means was I considered a good talker. It took time for me to get more comfortable and what not. For me to be able to stand beside Punk [CM Punk], Cole [Michael Cole], Pat [Pat McAfee], all these guys who are great and natural talkers was really great. I appreciate all the positive feedback. It's something that I definitely would consider. I still want to be involved with the company, regardless of what happens with my in-ring career moving forward. I've been with the company 15 years. 15 years of my life that I've been signed with this company, a job I took on a whim and it's been such an integral part of my life. It's definitely something I'm open to. There are some really great broadcasters. Vic [Vic Joseph] has done such an incredible job. It was speculated when things were getting shuffled around that maybe he gets moved up to Raw. I definitely want to make sure that I'm not in a position where Im trying to leapfrog anyone who deserves opportunities or anyone who has been grinding at it. If it makes sense and there are other panels or opportunities to come in, I'd love to. One of the issues is, the bar was set to high. My first time coming in was Vegas with this Rock thing. We have a lot of work to do to make sure every one (after) is as fulfilling and enjoyable. I'm definitely open to it. It means a lot to see all the positive feedback," he said.
While making the media rounds, Big E praised Seth Rollins as a locker room leader. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
