Big E is one of the charismatic and beloved WWE superstars. The strongest member of the New Day rose up to the ranks with his incredible charisma and in-ring performance. However, it has been months since he went down with the devasting neck injury. Moreover, speculations have been running on Big E resurfacing at WWE Survivor Series.
He was assigned to WWE’s developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling in 2009. He then rose up to WWE NXT becoming the NXT Champion defeating Seth Rollins in 2013. Big E was called up to the main roster as an enforcer to Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee.
After a short run as a singles competitor, he aligned himself with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to form the highly popular stable ‘The New Day.’ The trio won a total of 11 Tag Team titles as a group and emerged as one of the beloved factions of all time.

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion returned to singles action in July 2021. He later on clinched the Money in the Bank briefcase. He achieved his milestone dream by cashing-in his MITB opportunity successfully on Bobby Lashley and won his first WWE championship. Everything was going his way, until March 11th episode of SmackDown.
