Austin Creed Discusses Emotional Impact of The New Day's Split with Big E

Austin Creed has shared insights into the emotional consequences of The New Day's split with Big E, noting that the storyline had a significant impact on his family. The separation, which was showcased on WWE programming, became particularly poignant for Creed during a moment away from the ring.

The New Day marked their 10-year anniversary in WWE in December 2024 by turning on Big E, who had been sidelined due to a neck injury. Creed and Kofi Kingston embraced a heel turn, but the group's storyline eventually lost traction as tag team narratives diminished on RAW.

Creed recounted an experience at a WrestleMania event where he avoided Big E to maintain kayfabe, leading to confusion for his young son, who questioned why Big E had not spoken to them. Creed emphasized the importance of not teaching his son that brothers should ignore one another. Despite their careers diverging, Kofi noted that their bond remains strong, as they continue to communicate daily.
