The New Day Reveal Real Reason They Fired Big E

The New Day pair of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods has again reiterated their reason for ditching Big E in heartbreaking fashion.

Back in December 2024, on a night where The New Day were meant to celebrate a decade together, Big E’s part in the group came to a shocking end. Just as it looked like months of teases would come to a head with Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston calling it a day, Big E made his way to the ring to play peacemaker.

Trying to resolve tensions in the group, the former WWE Champion offered to become their manager. However, instead of welcoming the move, Woods and Kingston accused the star of turning his back on them and choosing a desk job and his girlfriend over his teammates.

Turning to his neck injury, the pair went on to point out that Steve Austin and Kurt Angle had come back from similar injuries and asked why he hadn’t returned to the ring, before demanding he admits he never will. Despite the stunning accusations, Big E still tried to hug his former teammates, only for them to refuse. The dejected star then left the ring and walked to the back.

The New Day Still Unhappy With Big E

Now, on the August 4th edition of Raw, The New Day has revealed why they let Big E go, as they noted on the show that the former WWE Champion didn’t want to come to work. Big E has been a part of WWE panels before PLEs following his devastating neck injury stopped him from getting back in the ring.

The show also saw The New Day’s new allegiance with Grayson Waller continue, with speculation continuing that “Big G” could officially join Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston.
