Shortly after the segment, WWE's official Twitter account confirmed the move reuniting Big E with his New Day stablemates of Kingston and the injured King Xavier Woods.
As of this writing, it's not known which Superstar RAW would receive in return. It's also unknown if Big E moving to SmackDown is a temporary move.

As noted, Big E and WWE Champion Brock Lesnar are currently tied as the odds-on favorites to win Saturday night's 30-Man Royal Rumble Match. AJ Styles, Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens round out the top 5 wrestlers with the shortest odds to win the battle royal.
