As previously reported, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods decided to leave WWE in what was described as a mutual decision between them and the company after being asked to take pay cuts due to a contract restructuring, which they declined.
Following their departure, fans had questions about Big E’s future. According to Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select, sources familiar with the production of WWE’s Countdown pre-shows believe that Big E will continue to serve as a panelist on those shows. The report also noted that Big E is regarded as a “valuable presence” within WWE and is seen as a key factor in the success of the pre-shows.
Big E has been part of the pre-shows for the past several years, especially since he suffered a career-ending injury on the March 11, 2022 episode of WWE SmackDown. There is currently no information on the length of Big E’s contract with WWE, but updates will be provided as they become available.
