This continues to a be a big year for contracts in wrestling, and we’ve got clarification on one deal, or at least how it stood in the Summer. In 2019, New Day and WWE announced the trio had all signed five-year contracts, with Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E signed until the end of 2024. We’ve not learned about the status of Woods or Kofi, and any possible injury time or re-signings or extensions, but we did learn a little more about Big E as speculation runs rampant ahead of the New Day ten year celebration.Those that Fightful spoke to within WWE said that they don’t believe that injury time was added to Big E’s deal as of this Summer. He’s been sidelined since early 2022 due to a broken neck. However, we’ve not learned if he’d re-signed or got on a new deal since then. However, it would make sense for WWE to not add injury time to his deal, as the contract they signed with him was under the expectation that he’d be an in-ring talent. He's been appearing on digital content, making appearances, and panels, which counts towards his deal.There's always a chance things have changed since then, but as of the summer, that was the word.Check out Big E's Players' Tribune article here: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/big-e-ettore-ewen-wwe-wrestling
