Former WWE Champion Big E responded to the (tasteless in my opinion) joke about his broken neck on last night's Raw from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who remarked on commentary that the only thing stiffer than announcer Michael Cole's barbs was Big E's neck.
On the Raw Recap podcast, Big E responded, commenting:
“I guess at my big age of 39 years old, people will say what they want about you. Their opinion of you is not...has nothing to do with me. It’s not my business. Look, say what you want, he was given a mic, he was given an opportunity. People will feel how they want to. It’s just, you know, there’s a lot of discourse, often times as a public figure people will say things about you. Whether they’re jokes, whether they’re not, and that is their right. I think the one thing is, and I get like, I’m on here, it was said on the show, I’m supposed to talk, you know, especially when things are mentioned about me, I should have an opinion on them. It’s just...it is tiring to have to weigh in on everyone’s opinion or whatever they say. Look, I’m not hurt. I’m good. I want the discourse to be had without me, honestly. I really have no desire to weigh in on this. I didn’t sign up for this. I wasn’t aware of this. He did what he wanted to. People signed off on it....[it] has nothing to do with me, truly.”
Big E last wrestled in March 2022 and has since worked as an on camera broadcaster for WWE as well as picking up acting and voiceover gigs on Peacock's Laid and Disney+'s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, among other projects.
