Big E reacts to Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about him from Monday's RAW.
During the April 7th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, Tony Hinchcliffe joined commentary for The New Day's World Tag Team title challenge and during the course of the match, Hinchcliffe would make a joke likening Michael Cole's stiffness to that of Big E. E of course, suffered a serious neck injury in 2022 that he has yet to return to the ring from.
During this week's edition of the WWE RAW recap, E was asked by Sam Roberts about the joke, with Big E remarking that he is not interested in partaking in the discourse surrounding the joke.
"I guess at my big age of 39 years old, people will say what they want about you. It has nothing to do with me. It's not my business. Say what you want. He was given a mic. He was given an opportunity. People will feel how they want to. It's just, there's a lot of discourse oftentimes 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 I'm on here. It was said on the show, I'm supposed to talk, 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."
Hinchcliffe's appearance on RAW was tied in to his upcoming appearance at the roast of WrestleMania on April 20th. You can read more about that here.
