So Big E is back on Smackdown?

[ChitownKnight]

Well i guess that takes Seth vs E off the table for Mania. It would be cool if they had him end Roman’s title reign but I doubt it’s gonna happen

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

For what it's worth, he's still listed as a RAW guy on the website, but they're slack about these things.

Did someone actually say "Big E is officially moved to the SmackDown roster" or was it something vague?

They are gonna put him back with Woods and Kingston and pretend his singles run never happened.

AKA, The Status Quo

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

Well..New Day are back together 🤷

[Instant Classic]

Glad New Day are back together, but another pointless draft.

It's part of the Quarterly Rumble Season Brand to Brand Wild Card Invitational Spectacular.

Do they want us to think that Seth is winning and Roman is going to RAW to go after Brock?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

It’s hard to know what to think of this. The babyface depth is junk on either show, so in that regard its a lateral move. Most of the grumblings seems to be based on the idea of “He’ll just end up being an interchangeable tag guy again, his main event singles window is shut forever”, which… I get it, but I just can’t do this thing of being angry about a thing that hasn’t happened yet just because I expect it to happen. I just can’t, I’m sorry.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

TBH, this makes me think more than anything that he may pull the win out tomorrow and “go back” to RAW. Feels like a weak attempt at a misdirect.

“Rassafrassa…looks good urrhhmm you…grumbleuuhhmn”

[Legion]

He's been parachuted in to the feud they had for Drew, until he got injured.

After that, who knows.

[kevin]

Was he there just because Woods was injured and they needed that tag match to happen? Is Rollins going to win and Roman go to Raw to challenge Brock and they need Big E to be Rollins first feud? The second one is plausible because otherwise what do you do turn Corbin or Sheamus face out of nowhere?

[robferatu]

It's a stretch, but you can sorta, kinda make sense of Big E going back to Smackdown because before cashing in his "Money in the Bank" contract he was a member of the blue brand. Obviously, as WWE Champion of Raw he was exempt from the draft so there's some logic to after losing the title, failing to secure a rematch for it at the Royal Rumble and then being assigned back to his original brand.

However, I feel like this also makes it clear that he's been Kofi'd and that his brush with the main event, and being champion of a brand is over.

[spagett]

The brand split is absolutely useless and pointless.

[asuka007]

Yep, his push is over. Status Quo restored.

You pumped for New Day vs. the Usos at WM?

[chronocross]

It's official:

I'll wait until after the Rumble to see how it plays out but I don't think he has a chance of winning tonight, I feel like it'll either be Drew McIntyre or (after he loses earlier in the night due to shenanigans) Brock Lesnar.
