Assuming they’re nonetheless engaged on these contracts and have not been stealthily re-signed, that will imply The New Day has lower than a month earlier than their WWE contracts expire. There have been questions, nonetheless, about whether or not WWE can or will prolong Big E’s contract on account of damage, as he hasn’t wrestled since struggling a extreme neck damage in 2022 — it is a topic on the minds of many since AEW CEO Tony Khan prolonged the contract of Rey Fenixpatre, supposedly to maintain him from instantly debuting in WWE alongside his brother Penta.
