10 New Directions For WWE After Royal Rumble 2022
5. WWE Plot A Fresh Course For Big E
WWE's brand extension is a f*cking mess.
Big E moved back to SmackDown "for good" on last Friday's episode, but everyone knows that "for good" actually means "until we feel like putting him back on Raw". It's such a see-through, haphazard way of doing things. It's also why E vs. Seth Rollins could still happen at WrestleMania.
The New Day member has been hyping a 'Mania showdown with Rollins hard in the media. It's obvious that he craves such a match, and it must've been spoken about behind the scenes at least in passing. Basically, if Seth wins the WWE Title at Elimination Chamber, then he's probably dropping it to E in Dallas.
This would act as title redemption for Big E - he was so cruelly sacrificed back at Day 1, and hasn't recovered yet. The company shouldn't give up on the idea of turning him into a permanent headliner. What if they're scheming an even larger-scale title win in April?
