Big E and Kris Yim have gotten married, marking a major personal milestone for the WWE personality and his longtime partner. The ceremony was attended by a number of familiar names from WWE, including Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed.

Kris Yim is the sister of WWE performer Mia Yim, who is known on television as Michin. The wedding brought together family, friends and colleagues from throughout Big E’s time in wrestling, with the attendance of Kingston and Creed especially notable given their longstanding connection as members of The New Day.

The couple first publicly confirmed their relationship in 2024. They announced their engagement in May 2025, and their marriage now completes the next chapter in that journey. Details surrounding the ceremony itself, including its exact date and location, have not been made public.

A major moment for Big E and Kris Yim

While Big E has remained a visible figure around WWE, his public life has taken on a different shape in the years since his in-ring career came to an end. His marriage to Kris Yim is a happy development for someone whose recent years have included both a life-changing injury and a transition into new professional pursuits outside active competition.

Big E retired from the ring after suffering a serious neck injury in March 2022. The injury occurred during a period when he was still an active WWE performer, and it ultimately ended his career as a wrestler. Since then, he has continued to be part of the WWE landscape in a non-wrestling capacity, appearing as an analyst on WWE post-shows.

That role has allowed Big E to remain connected to the company and its audience while offering the perspective of somebody who has experienced the highest levels of WWE competition. His work away from the ring has also expanded beyond wrestling. He has explored acting, motivational speaking, writing and other projects, building a broader professional identity following retirement.

The wedding is therefore not simply a celebratory occasion for the couple, but another meaningful point in a period of reinvention for Big E. The former wrestler has navigated an unexpected end to his active career while continuing to find ways to contribute, create and stay present within the industry.

WWE stars celebrate with the couple

The guest list reflected the depth of Big E’s friendships within WWE. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch were among those in attendance, as were Kingston and Creed. Their presence underscored the close relationships Big E has maintained with fellow performers through his years in the company.

Kingston and Creed, better known to many WWE viewers as Xavier Woods, share a particularly important bond with Big E. The three have been linked professionally and personally for years through The New Day, one of WWE’s most recognizable groups. Even with Big E no longer competing, his relationship with his New Day partners has remained a central part of his connection to the wrestling world.

The attendance of Rollins and Lynch also illustrates the wider network of peers who have remained close to Big E. Wedding celebrations often offer a rare setting where performers can gather away from the weekly demands of television, travel and live events. For Big E and Kris Yim, the presence of friends from WWE added another layer to a personal occasion centered on the couple and their family.

Mia Yim’s connection to the celebration is equally significant. As Kris Yim’s sister and a WWE talent in her own right, she represents the family side of an event that naturally brought together both relatives and wrestling colleagues. The marriage links two families with direct ties to the WWE community, though the focus remains firmly on Big E and Kris Yim beginning their life together as a married couple.

From relationship announcement to marriage

Big E and Kris Yim went public with their relationship in 2024. Their engagement followed in May 2025, giving fans a clear timeline of a relationship that has continued to move forward outside the spotlight of weekly WWE programming.

There is a distinction between Big E’s extensive public profile and the couple’s approach to sharing personal milestones. The relationship has been acknowledged publicly, as was the engagement, but many details of their private lives have remained their own. That balance has continued with the wedding, for which only limited information has emerged beyond confirmation that the couple has married and several WWE names were present.

For fans who have followed Big E’s career, the news is likely to resonate because of the goodwill he has earned across different phases of his WWE run and his post-ring career. His personality, connection with colleagues and continued involvement in WWE programming have kept him familiar to audiences even after retirement. The wedding provides a distinctly positive update at a time when his public appearances are more commonly connected to analysis, entertainment work or reflections on his career.

Big E’s continuing WWE presence

Retirement from in-ring competition has not meant a complete departure from WWE for Big E. His analyst work on post-shows has given him a platform to discuss current events and talent while still bringing the energy and perspective that made him a popular presence on television.

His career change also speaks to the reality faced by performers whose time in the ring ends earlier than expected. A neck injury in March 2022 altered Big E’s path, but he has continued to pursue opportunities in several fields. Acting, motivational speaking and writing are among the areas he has explored, alongside his WWE media work.

That continued activity has made Big E’s story one of adaptation rather than disappearance. He remains associated with WWE and connected to the people he worked alongside, even as he has developed interests beyond wrestling. The support visible at his wedding is a reminder that those relationships endure beyond championships, television segments and the normal competitive structure of the business.

A new chapter for the newlyweds

Big E and Kris Yim’s marriage closes an important stretch that began publicly in 2024, continued with their engagement in May 2025 and now arrives at a wedding shared with loved ones and respected WWE friends. It is a personal moment, but one that has understandably drawn warm attention from the wrestling community.

With Big E continuing his work as a WWE analyst while pursuing creative and speaking opportunities, the couple begins this new chapter during a period of ongoing change and growth in his life. Kris Yim has been part of that journey, and their wedding offers a welcome celebration for both families.

Congratulations are in order for Big E and Kris Yim as they begin married life together.
