Big E Comments on Wanting to Make “Smart Decision” on Whether to Resume WWE In-Ring Career

As noted before, Big E has been out of action for WWE since March of 2022 due to a broken neck injury.

Denise Salcedo held a recent interview with Big E. One of the topics discussed included Big E’s thoughts about wanting to make a “smart decision” over the future of his in-ring wrestling career in WWE.

“So when I think about the damage I have done to my body over the years, I just want to be smart, because this is the one body I get and I have to carry it throughout my 40s, 50s hopefully and beyond. So that’s the goal. I just want to make a smart decision and I am just so grateful to feel so good, to have no restrictions and I want to be smart with whatever decision I make.”

CM Punk Comments on WWE’s Current Locker Room Being “Everything The Business Is Supposed To Be”

WWE recently released a new vlog featuring a behind-the-scenes look at CM Punk’s Royal Rumble 2024 weekend and this past Monday’s RAW show. In the video, Punk gave his thoughts about WWE’s current backstage locker room.

“Just certain looks from certain people I get, and then I start crying again. And Cody’s one of them. He’s a great dude. This locker room is everything the business is supposed to be. It’s everything the business was sold to me as being and it’s remarkable, and that’s why I’m so sad. I’m not sad I hurt my arm, I’m sad I’m temporarily out of this amazing situation.”
