1) WWE’s Plans For Big E
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is planning to push Big E as a more serious character moving forward.
Here is what Meltzer wrote about the plans for Big E:
Perhaps the most talked about aspect was the split up of The New Day, with Kingston & Woods moving to Raw as tag team champions and Big E staying a single. The idea is to get Big E away from the act and make him more serious for a singles push. Historically, WWE has broken up tag team acts in the draft before and while there are exceptions, most of the time they find out the combination of parts was more effective than the parts individually.
One would suspect E getting a major singles push, which was talked about weeks ago and somewhat started. The idea is to get him out of the comedic mode. There is a logic to it even though, because the New Day has been established together for so many years and have been popular, there was going to be a negative reaction breaking them up without a storyline leading to it.
My Take:
- I am definitely fine with them pushing Big E as a more serious guy. His fun-loving personality is what has generated so many fans, so I don’t think that he should lose that side of him completely. If they can find a good mixture, I think that it will be perfect. Either way, I want to see Big E receiver a main event push.
