The former WWE Champion will not feature at the Royal Rumble.
Big E has been out of action due to a severe neck injury he suffered on the March 11th, 2022 episode of SmackDown. He revealed that his return would happen sometime after March during an interview with These Urban Times.
“I have to get some more scans at the one-year mark in March, and then we’ll see how everything’s looking, but we’ll see from there… I was very fortunate, so I just want to make sure I’m making the best decision for myself, so we’ll see in March.”
Big E to These Urban Times
This rules out any speculation that Big E will return as a surprise entrant in the upcoming Royal Rumble match. He is really injured, and still waiting for a check-up in March. We’re hoping he gets good news when that doctor appointment rolls around.
