Big E's Netflix Show (via WWE)
WWE is gearing up for its highly anticipated move to Netflix next week. As part of the transition, WWE has announced several special shows for the streaming platform, including Big E‘s Raw Classics. However, some within the company have expressed concerns about the choice of host for such a prominent series. Surprisingly, the controversy surrounds none other than former WWE champion Xavier Woods.
The 11-time Tag Team Champion took to X to respond to Big E’s post promoting his Netflix show. Woods criticized the former WWE Champion for being present everywhere except where he is truly needed, which is the WWE ring. It was yet another jab from The New Day member, highlighting E’s ongoing inability to gain medical clearance to compete in WWE.
Woods and his partner Kofi Kingston have embraced a more aggressive persona on Monday Night Raw. After ousting Big E from The New Day last month, the duo has been wreaking havoc across the locker room. Their antics have extended beyond the ring, as they have repeatedly targeted Big E’s girlfriend, Kris Yim, with harsh remarks on social media over the past few weeks.
Dude is everywhere BUT Monday Night Raw, of his own accord, and people boo US for it. Cool cool

The New Day continued their aggressive streak last week on Raw by taking brutal shots at commentator Wade Barrett, mocking his inability to compete in the ring and comparing him to Big E. These actions have drawn severe backlash, leading Rey Mysterio to ban the duo from the locker room. With tensions escalating, it will be fascinating to see how this storyline unfolds in the coming weeks.
CM Punk paid tribute to Big E during WWE Live Event
CM Punk recently faced The New Day during a WWE Live Event. While tagging along with Rey Mysterio, The Best in the World made headlines with his wild antics throughout the night. However, during the match, The Second City Saint took some time to pay a heartfelt tribute to Big E following the actions of Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston last month.
The Straight Edge Superstar paid tribute to Big E with a shoutout before delivering a brutal clothesline and bulldog combo to Woods and Kingston. He later approached the ropes to perform E’s iconic rope stretches, a heartfelt gesture from the 46-year-old. The tribute generated significant buzz among the WWE Universe.
CM Punk and Big E have frequently shared the screen throughout 2024, serving as key members of WWE’s analyst panel during several PLEs last year. With rumors swirling about Big E’s potential return to the ring, fans are eager to see if he and Punk might cross paths in the squared circle in the near future.
