Big E announced he is in a new relationship.
The former WWE Champion has been out of action with a broken neck for over two years. Recent scans have shown that he is healing, but likely not enough to ever return to the ring.
While he has previously dated Natalya’s sister as part of a Total Divas’ storyline, he has embarked in a new relationship with a co-worker’s sister.
In an Instagram post, Big E publicly announced that he’s dating Kris Yim. She is the sister of WWE’s Mia Yim, but she is not a wrestler herself.
Big E announced that the pair were officially seeing each other in a post on Instagram. The New Day member posted a photo of the pair bent over wearing Christmas jumper-style jumpers, with a caption confirming their relationship.
Big E wrote on Instagram, “My neck is broken but my heart is whole.”
Mia Yim responded with the comment, “Ayyyy publicly official !!”, indicating that the pair had been dating for some time before officially announcing it. Meanwhile, her husband, Keith Lee, commented, “This caption broke me”.
Big E Comments On Future Working In WWE Broadcasting
While he may not wrestle again, Big E could become a full-time broadcaster in WWE.
He spoke to SHAK Wrestling how he was a last-minute addition to a panel before WrestleMania 40, and how he’s taking each opportunity as it comes.
“We’ve had a few conversations, and it’s kind of… I don’t know if there’s a long-term plan that’s been laid out. It’s mostly opportunity by opportunity. Usually, a few weeks before. I think they reached out for the Vegas panel maybe a week before.”
“I got a text they wanted me to go, but it wasn’t until I boarded the flight to Vegas that I even knew I was going to be doing the panel! But that’s the nature of doing things in the WWE. Often times, it’s just ‘hey, show up’ and you get things thrown at you. Knowing I have a really good rapport, Punk is a friend, I have great rapport with Pat [McAfee], with Michael [Cole]. I just knew, kind of the idea was, just go out there and talk. There’s no-one chatting in your ear, telling you what to say. “
