Big E, the member of the stable popularly known as “The New Day”, has been out of action for almost a year. He broke his neck last year during a tag team match where he teamed up with Kofi Kingston to face Ridge Holland & Sheamus. After that, his wrestling career came under a huge question mark.

During his PopCulture interview, Big E reflected on his time as the WWE Champion. He wanted more and didn’t believe had the greatest reign, but Big E is proud of the way he managed everything. Big E concluded by claiming that he would not have gotten to that place without Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston.

In the interview, he said, “It was a great opportunity for me to learn. (being WWE Champion). It was one of those moments that, if I’m being totally honest, made me want more. I didn’t think my reign was the greatest. There seemed to be a lot of flesh still attached to the bone.” So, from his words, it’s evident that he really enjoyed his reign as champion. He enjoyed the constant grind which he faced during that phase. Even outside the ring, Big E enjoyed some moments like doing promos for Fury Wilder 3, to performing boxer walkouts. ETC.

Attending those big events gave him a lot of confidence. Big E’s life changed after the title run as many new doors opened for him. In the end, he thanked his new day teammates Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods, as without their constant support he would have never reached that stage and grown up as a great athlete.

He has mixed feelings about his title reign. The former champion believes that his title run wasn’t that impressive, but he is proud of everything he did during that phase. When Big E was questioned about whether he could see himself working for WWE off-screen or as an on-screen figure, the New Day member replied that he couldn’t. Big E continued by going into detail about talking with college students about WWE’s N.I.L. program and how he can picture himself in those positions.
