Multi-time champion Big E has been scouting talent for WWE's NIL program

The New Day member has been out of action for over a year due to an injury he sustained on an episode of SmackDown in March last year. During his absence, he's been scouting new talent for the company.

During an interview with These Urban Times, Big E commented on his involvement in the NIL program, stating that he's enjoyed doing it.

"I love doing it because it's an opportunity to reach out to college athletes and let them know, 'WWE might not have been something on your radar or you might not have considered it, but I'm telling you, it changed my life dramatically.' I've been able to travel the world, entertain people all across the globe, it's an incredible experience. I love it because I love college sports and I resonate with college athletes," he said.
