The idea of the match is intriguing to Big E.
Dating back to start of 2024, New Day and Imperium have been intertwined on WWE TV. It began in a tag match on the Day 1 edition of Monday Night Raw when Kingston delivered a dropkick to Giovanni Vinci that connected flush and Vinci was sidelined with a concussion.
That led to an on-screen program between Kingston and Woods against Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser. WWE Intercontinental Champion and Imperium’s leader GUNTHER bested Kofi Kingston on the 1/29 Raw to retain his title.
The idea of Big E joining the program was discussed on the Sarah O’Connell Show when E was asked about dream matches. He said it’d be fun to come back for a trios match between New Day and Imperium, adding that tagging with Woods and Kingston is the best way to end things.
I think something probably like a six-man. I think a trios match, to do it again with Kofi (Kingston) and (Xavier) Woods, that’s the best way to end things. They’ve been such a big part of my career… It’s a great match, Imperium’s doing great things. I think there’s a lot of buzz. GUNTHER’s just been amazing, been on an incredible run and obviously, you know, they’ve been locking horns with Imperium so to be back for a match like that would be big but, honestly, any six-man with the brothers, my guys, I think would be something that would mean a lot to me… Yeah, it’d be fun. It’s a cool contrast of styles too. They’re so stoic and austere and we’re anything but, so, yeah, that’d be fun.
Big E has been out of action since March 2022 when he suffered a broken neck. He’s provided a multitude of updates over the last two years and said he’s feeling great, but wants to be smart about his future in regards to an in-ring return.
Imperium and New Day were in a Undisputed WWE Tag Title number one contenders match on the 2/5 Raw. For more information about that, click here.
