On this, the birthday of the exuberant, exciting, exhilarating, extremely entertaining Big E, I would like to pose a question to all of you. Will Big E one day win the big one? Does Big E have the potential to be the face of the WWE?
Hold on, hold on, you probably think I'm kidding but I assure you that I'm not. Right now he is a goofy dancer in a stable that people find hard to take seriously. How can anyone look at that and think he is worthy of the top prize in wrestling? Well, lets look at his history so far, shall we?
Before even coming into the WWE, Big E was a record breaking power lifter. In NXT, he became the second ever NXT champion, holding the title longer than Rollins to set another record. Upon debuting in the WWE, he was in a successful trio alongside Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee (two of the top names in their respective divisions at the time) and would then go on to defeat Ziggler in the blowoff to their feud.
He immediately went into a feud with the Shield, where he racked up two DQ wins over then US champion Dean Ambrose. He would follow this up by defeating Curtis Axel for the Intercontinental championship which he was never pinned for or made to submit for and instead lost in a battle royal. This then led to the creation of the New Day, which is now one of the most successful pairings in all of sports entertainment.
While his build into one of the best talents in the WWE may have been done under most people's radars, it is clear that the WWE sees him as a star as he continuously succeeds every time he is given the ball. It is said that wrestlers who make it big have to craft their own path to stardom and Big E has been doing just that as a major focus in the New Day. Would it really be that big of a stretch to see him with the biggest prize in wrestling one day?
What do you think?
