WWE fans truly get behind their favorite Superstars, ready to defend these wrestlers at the drop of a hat.

This is especially true whenever something personal happens to a wrestler or when they get injured.

Such was the case after the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw when a joke took aim at beloved former WWE Champion Big E.

During Raw on April 7, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe joined the commentary team during The New Day’s tag team match and proceeded to tell a joke saying that Michael Cole is as stiff as Big E’s neck, making reference to the very serious injury that may have ended Big E’s in-ring career.

Naturally, this has gotten a major reaction from the WWE Universe, who already seemed unhappy that Hinchcliffe was on WWE television.

Now, Big E himself has responded to the joke on WWE Raw Recap, simply saying that he had no idea Hinchcliffe was going to say this and he just wanted to move on.

“I guess at my big age of 39 years old, people will say what they want about you,” Big E said. “It has nothing to do with me. It’s not my business. Say what you want. He was given a mic. He was given an opportunity. People will feel how they want to.”

“It’s just, there’s a lot of discourse oftentimes as a public figure. People will say things about you, whether they’re jokes, whether they’re not and that is their right. I think the one thing is, and I get I’m on here.”

“It was said on the show, I’m supposed to talk, especially when things are mentioned about me, I should have an opinion on them. It’s just, it is tiring to have to weigh in on everyone’s opinion or whatever they say.”

“Look, I’m not hurt. I’m good,” Big E concluded. “I want the discourse to be had without me, honestly. I really have no desire to weigh in on this. I didn’t sign up for this. I wasn’t aware of this. He did what he wanted to. People signed off on it. It has nothing to do with me, truly.”
