In a perfect world, y'know?

Listen, it's highly unlikely that Big E will ever wrestle even a part-time schedule ever again. The man himself has been open and honest about the state of his neck following a nasty break in 2022, and he's even been candid about the potential he could be killed in action if he dared take some bumps again. Yeah, let's not go there. His safety and happiness comes first.

E wants to enjoy his life without fear. It's sad, but the former WWE Champ's in-ring days were numbered as soon as Ridge Holland accidentally dumped him on his head during a nondescript tag match on the 11 March 2022 SmackDown. That tragic incident has been on everyone's lips since, but E is quick to point out that he still has good quality of life.

He did appear on the 2 December 2024 Raw to help facilitate a heel turn for old New Day buddies Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods though. That was notable, but Kofi and Xavier's villain streak has dried out in more recent months. They need something huge to help stir the pot again. That "something huge" could be further interactions with Big E.

Here's where things get difficult. Again, taking bumps aplenty surely isn't on E's agenda. He could, however, link up with another duo who'd then spin into a feud vs. New Day. If possible, seeing Big E hit Kofi or Xavier with a chair/another weapon would get a big pop out of fans and give the post-'Mania Raw some more feel good factor.
