Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring RAW and Big E.
• Big World Title Match Set For Tonight’s RAW
Paul Heyman confronted World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso in the opening segment of tonight’s RAW and said that Roman Reigns & CM Punk both put him in impossible situations, and explained why he’s in the right for joining Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41.
Heyman said he turned The Big Dog into The Tribal Chief and then left him after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship because he was more focused on getting revenge on Seth Rollins. Heyman ripped Reigns for leaving him to Solo Sikoa and then Sikoa attacked him, Roman only came back to get the Ula Fala back.

Jey asked what any of their situation has to do with him. Paul said the World Heavyweight Title holds power and leverage, and claimed that Seth has to become champion.
Heyman said that Bron Breakker joining them was stage 1, and stage 2 is Seth becoming the World Heavyweight Champion. Paul said that he will let Jey pick the time and place that he loses the Title to Seth. Jey accepted the challenge and picked for the match to take place tonight, and it was made official.
In a backstage segment, Heyman told Rollins that Jey fell for it, and Rollins said: “I told you so!”
• Big E Gets Engaged To SmackDown Star’s Sister (Photos)
Former WWE Champion Big E announced on Instagram that he got engaged to Kristen Yim, who is the sister of WWE SmackDown Superstar “Michin” Mia Yim.
The former New Day member posted the following caption and photos:
“I can’t wait to be your husband, @krisyim.
Thank you, @lastsuppersociety, for making this day perfect.”
In December 2024, Big E described his relationship with Kristen as one of the best things in his life.
Writing for The Players’ Tribune, he revealed that they’ve been together for nearly a year and expressed gratitude for waiting to find the right person, as relationships had been challenging for him in the past.
Their first meeting happened at the premiere of Montez Ford and Bianca Belair’s Hulu show, Love & WWE. The two had been chatting online before the event, and Big E asked Kristen to save him a seat. Despite arriving late and nearly losing his spot to Titus O’Neil, Kristen reserved it for him, which deepened their connection.
Big E described feeling an unparalleled energy with Kristen that night, making her the center of his attention despite the star-studded surroundings.
He credited his recovery period from a broken neck for giving him the time to pursue their relationship. Now, they’re planning to get married and have bought a home together in Oakland.
