Big E Shoots Down Idea He Will Be Randy Orton's WrestleMania 41 Opponent, 'I'm Not Cleared'

Randy Orton is currently without an opponent for WrestleMania 41 after it was announced Kevin Owens, Orton's original opponent, had a neck injury that would require surgery.

During a Fanatics Live Signing, Big E and Tyler Breeze pondered potential opponents for "The Viper."

When Big E's name was mentioned, he replied, "Look, I'm not cleared."

Breeze responded, "That's not what I heard."

"You don't know," said Big E.

Breeze said that he heard Big E was going to have a big comeback and E wondered if Breeze heard that from himself.

Big E has been sidelined since March 2022 when he suffered a broken neck after landing awkwardly following a suplex by Ridge Holland.

Big E appeared on the December 2nd episode of WWE Raw, where he was kicked out of New Day by Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston. Big E sadly walked away from the group after being chastised for putting his new life before New Day. He has been doing panel work for WWE while away from the ring.
