Big E has addressed the topic of a potential Hall of Fame induction, admitting that there is one scenario he would prefer the most.
Winning the top prize in NXT and on the main roster, having many great moments and one of the most beloved stars in pro wrestling history, few would complain if Big E was announced for a future Hall of Fame class. However, as tag teams and factions are inducted as well as individuals, there is also the possibility that the former World Champion could be inducted as part of The New Day as well as/instead of a standalone induction.
Standing alongside Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston for the best part of a decade, the trio were at one point one of the most popular acts on the entire roster along wth having the record for the longest Tag Team Championship reign in company history. While 2 inductions are likely for all 3 members down the road, which one would Big E want to be a part of first.
Big E Hall Of Fame: Solo Or New Day?
Speaking with Baby Huey of 107.7 The Bone, the former WWE star weighed up the possibilities of each induction:
“I feel like I’ve had some really great highs as a singles Superstar as far as being NXT Champion, the second-ever NXT Champion, also getting to be WWE Champion, two-time IC Champion. But I feel like what people know me as and the time of my career that was really the most rewarding is my time with The New Day. I feel like we really got to do something special. I don’t want to diminish my singles career. I don’t know if I had enough time as a singles Superstar to really be a stalwart as just a singles superstar. But, yeah, my time in The New Day is one I truly cherish. We just broke down so many barriers, we did so many things we hadn’t really seen before. Breaking a record that stood for 20 years with Demolition, having Booty-Os, a food product in wrestling, is kind of ridiculous. People still come up to me. I think we released Booty-Os a decade ago, and people still fondly remember me as the Booty-Os guy. So if I had to pick one, it would be as a member of The New Day because it really changed the trajectory of my career.”
Having been out of the ring for close to 4 years, Big E recently confirmed that he considers himself to be retired and sent a message to thank the fans for all their support. The former World Champion still remains a part of the company as part of the broadcast team.
