Why is Big E not an onscreen talent right now?

[TheGreatShowtime]

Maybe bc they may feel once he's a commentator that fans won't take him seriously as an active competitor anymore...even if he comes back.

I think once he's done wrestling now or later, he def has a job on camera

CM Punk did commentary for months on RAW before he briefly joined Nexus.

I'm just hoping that he's cleared and will challenge Gunther at WrestleMania.

If he comes out at the rumble and eliminates Gunther leading to a mania match that would be fire.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Because he's injury prone. Probably break something changing batteries in a microphone.

Someone flipped him on his neck on concrete

 

[Tres Leches]

Cause hhh doesn’t know what to do with him

How did the CM Punk in Nexus angle do?

I don't know what your point is. I was just saying Big E could easily do commentary like Punk did.

You were responding to someone saying that keeping a serious main eventer type away from commentary helps keep their mystique, but the Punk example of it not hurting him doesn't work because the next thing he did sucks. That's all I'm saying.

Unless Big Es done done, they should save his return for a meaningful feud or spot.

Punk was WWE champion and had the summer of Punk shortly after that commentator & Nexus run. He didn't lose his mystique at all.

Seems like they dropped that ridge holland nxt angle real quick

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

Probably having him off screen so when he returns he blows the roof off the arena.

Him coming back for the rumble would get an insane pop

 

[White City Black]

Best case scenario is that they want him off screen so that his potential comeback is the first time anyone sees him, and the reaction is better.

Worst case is that they're skeptical about him being able to come back, and with him being generally open about his condition, don't want to have the audience assume he's permanently done if he starts doing panel or commentary spots.

Yep.

Next time breh is on TV like that he’s either gonna come out in his wrestling gear to a gigantic pop…or in street clothes ready to announce his retirement in the middle of that ring

Either way I’m cool on seeing him on TV while all parties work on sorting all that shyt out behind the scenes

My only thing is he has to do new day music or at least do the oooooooooooo (insert royal rumble town) don't you dare be sour... nobody is popping for "y'all wanna go big?" By itself

Was punk commentating for over a year? I honestly had no idea he was even injured when he was doing that. I thought he was just doing it to do it

He is slapping meat
