The recent turn of events on Monday Night Raw, where Big E was kicked out of The New Day by his former partners Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, has sent suprisewaves through the wrestling world. The 12-time champion’s potential career-ending injury, coupled with Woods’ accusation that Big E was not medically cleared to return to the ring, has left fans wondering if this could be the end of Big E’s WWE career. According to Sam Roberts, the host of NotSam Wrestling, this storyline could be a way for Woods and Kingston to convey that Big E’s wrestling days might be over.

Roberts, who is well-versed in professional wrestling, believes that Woods’ statement could be a hint at Big E’s possible retirement. He notes that the unexpected turn of events is jarring and raises questions about the future of Big E’s career. Roberts also speculates that this storyline could be an opportunity for Woods and Kingston to rebrand themselves as villains, complete with new music, gear, and personas that would make their newfound heel characters believable and charming to the audience.

However, Roberts emphasizes that the presentation of this new heel turn is crucial for Woods and Kingston’s success. He suggests that they will need to undergo significant changes to make their new characters compelling and magnetic, rather than simply switching personas without any depth or substance. If they fail to deliver, their new characters could fall flat, and the audience might not respond positively to their new roles.

The uncertainty surrounding Big E’s future is equally intriguing, as he recently wrote an essay about the possibility of retiring from professional wrestling. Fans are left wondering if this could be the end of his WWE career, and only time will tell if he will return to the ring to confront Woods and Kingston about their betrayal.
