Big E reflects on The New Day’s pancake gimmick and career

Former WWE Champion Big E reflected on the New Day’s pancake-throwing gimmick during a recent appearance on the ‘Under The Mat’ podcast. Discussing his upcoming book, ‘How I Got Over: Healing from Depression and Psychosis to Find Joy In and Out of the Ring’, Big E admitted that the segment lasted longer than it should have. He noted that the group performed the act for approximately three years because they found it humorous at the time, though he expressed concern that it might overshadow his professional achievements.

The discussion also touched upon the current status of his former New Day partners, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Both performers recently departed WWE after reportedly declining a pay reduction. Speculation has since emerged regarding their potential involvement in AEW, specifically concerning the ‘All In: London’ pay-per-view on August 30, following comments made by Swerve Strickland.
