Former WWE Champion Big E has been on the sidelines with a broken neck for over a year, and although he is doing better currently, there’s no return timetable for him just yet.
During the WWE SummerSlam 2023 press conference, Big E was asked about a potential commentary role. He said,
“It’s something that has been discussed. Titus (O’Neil) is doing that and having great fun. I’ve had fun as well. I saw Becky’s comments about the pee break, and that’s something I’ve thought about many times. Many times. Do you wear a diaper? I’d probably wear a diaper. I like to stay hydrated. Three hours of being there, we can’t go in a bucket, there are people right behind you. I would. Maybe a catheter. It would be painful, don’t get me wrong, but I can’t sit there for three hours with no pee break. I’m going to add on to the Becky Lynch pee break commentary discourse and say that for me would be the biggest obstacle, the urine.”
During a recent edition of the “Monday Mailbag” podcast, former WCW/WWE referee Nick Patrick revealed the trick for having wrestlers hide under the ring. He said,
“Not sure how the trapdoor thing worked, but a lot of times getting people into the ring was a sleight of hand thing. They’d roll a box out to ringside…or they’d turn the lights down and the guy was dressed like one of the security guys…different ways that they did it. As far as a trapdoor goes, that’s a secret that they have. It takes somebody that works in props. That’s a Hollywood prop thing right there. You need somebody that knows what they’re doing to make it safe.”
