WWE’s top stars often face rejection and disappointment, and one of those stories is that of Big E, a former Intercontinental Champion. In a recent YouTube video, Big E opened up about his journey, revealing that even though the company’s upper management liked him, they had nothing for him in terms of weekly TV programming. This revelation comes as The New Day, the successful tag team Big E is a part of, celebrates ten years in the WWE.
The New Day, consisting of Big E, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston, has come a long way since their inception in 2014, when they were all struggling to find success in the company. Fast-forward to today, and they are widely regarded as one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history, with the company itself ranking them as the best tag team of all time.
In the video, Big E narrates a conversation he had with producer Road Dogg before The New Day was formed, which took place after a particularly low point in his career. At the time, Big E had just lost the Intercontinental Championship to Bad News Barrett, and he was feeling defeated. Road Dogg’s blunt message to him was that they liked him as a talent, but had nothing for him in terms of regular TV programming.
This conversation highlights the harsh realities of the WWE, where talent can be pushed aside despite their natural abilities and charisma. However, Big E’s story is one of redemption, as he went on to find success as part of The New Day, winning multiple championships and becoming a fan favorite.
The New Day’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of having the right support system in place. The team’s success has also led to increased opportunities for its members, with Kofi Kingston enjoying a prolonged run as the WWE Champion and Xavier Woods becoming a respected in-ring performer.
As The New Day continues to thrive, fans cannot help but wonder what the future holds for the trio. There have been rumors of a potential breakup, with Woods and Kingston reportedly on the verge of a feud on WWE Raw. Many fans are hopeful that this will lead to a lengthy and intense rivalry between the two, with Big E getting involved in some capacity.
Wherever the road takes The New Day, their legacy as one of the greatest stables in WWE history is already assured. It is a testament to the power of teamwork and the importance of having a strong bond between fellow performers. As Big E’s story shows, even in the darkest of times, the right support system can make all the difference in achieving success and fame in the WWE.
