Big E Returns To WWE Smackdown, Still Not Cleared To Wrestle

Big E is back on SmackDown. But won't be back in the ring just yet.

On tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown, Big E made his first appearance since tearing his meniscus on the Apr. 10 episode of SmackDown Live. Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston welcomed Big E back with a party to open SmackDown Live. Big E's appearance included smelling his comrades and still pining after Becky Lynch's mom.

However, there was a sour note on the return as Xavier confirmed that Big E has yet to be cleared to compete. It is unknown when Big E will return to in-ring competition.

The party was cut short thanks to a salty Kevin Owens and his best friend Sami Zayn.
