In recent years, Big E has been working as a recruiter for WWE with student-athletes for its NIL program and as a pre- and post-show host.
Big E suffered the neck injury on the March 11, 2022, episode of WWE SmackDown when taking an overhead belly-to-belly suplex at ringside from Ridge Holland. The former WWE Champion landed on his neck and fractured his C1 vertebra and C6 vertebra. He’s still not medically cleared.
While speaking with Kevin Iole, the former WWE Champion discussed his new role with the company.
“WWE has been incredibly hot for the past couple of years, so yeah, it’s going to be a great card. Lots of big names for sure. The Rock was heavily involved at WrestleMania last year; we’ll see if he’s involved at all this year. But we’re excited. The cool thing for me in this role now is that I do the pre-shows and post-shows for all the PLEs (Premium Live Events, formerly pay-per-views). So, you know, I get to be a fan again. I get to cover the card, and I have a lot of fun with that. I really enjoy it.”
