As the confetti settled on the 10th anniversary celebration of The New Day, Big E’s triumphant return to the WWE ring was met with a maelstrom of emotions. The air was electric with anticipation, but behind the scenes, a storm brewed. The cracks began to show as Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods launched personal jabs at their fallen comrade, with Kingston infamously hinting that Big E had prioritized his new girlfriend, Kristen, over their brotherly bond. The weight of the controversy hung heavy, like a championship belt hovering precariously over the ropes. But the real question remained: who is Kristen, and how did Big E’s heart find its new anchor?
In a poignant article penned for The Players’ Tribune, Big E recounted their serendipitous meeting at the premiere of Montez Ford and Bianca Belair’s reality show, Love & WWE. It was there that he crossed paths with Kristen, an unlikely participant in the romance-dept drama. Mia Yim, aka Michin, Kristen’s sister, had been exchanging friendly and flirtatious texts with Big E, setting the stage for their sparkling relationship. Kristen’s seemingly innocuous presence became an afterthought as the festivities unfolded, but beneath the surface, her bond with Big E threatened to upend the delicate balance of power within The New Day.
As the rivalry with Kofi and Xavier Woods escalated, Kristen expressed her displeasure on social media, stating that the duo had started to get on her nerves. The tensions culminated in a scathing exchange between Xavier Woods and Kristen, leaving the relationship in shambles. The fallout was far-reaching, with Big E’s membership in The New Day thrown into jeopardy. The question on everyone’s mind became: would the WWE Superstar be able to reconcile with his former partners or forge a new path solo? For now, fans are left to ponder the uncertainty, but the tantalizing prospect of Big E’s newfound love in the WWE ring has ignited a spark.
