Report: WWE Has HUGE Plans For Big E & The New Day In The 2021 Draft
Here's what WWE may have in mind for Big E, Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston after SummerSlam 2021.
Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods could find themselves back on the same WWE brand after SummerSlam 2021.
Per WrestleVotes, the idea of moving E from SmackDown to Raw in the post-SummerSlam draft has been discussed by WWE, though despite being switched to the same show as his New Day stablemates, the former Intercontinental Champion would be pushed as a singles wrestler.
E would be presented as a fresh main-eventer on the red brand. Meanwhile, Woods and Kingston would presumably continue as a tag team.
WWE's 2021 Draft is scheduled to go down on the 30 August episode of Raw and 3 September episode of SmackDown. Last year's WWE Draft saw Woods and Kingston sent to Raw while E remained on SmackDown, separating the trio for the first time since their 2014 formation.
Reports of a singles push for E followed. These manifested in the form of a successful upper-midcard run yielding a 110-day reign as Intercontinental Champion, though the big man hasn't truly broken into the Universal Championship picture. Woods and Kingston, meanwhile, became record-tying Raw Tag Team Champions by capturing the belts for a fourth time in March. They have since dropped them to AJ Styles and Omos.
