Big E On What He Would Have Done Differently During His WWE Title Run

Last year Big E won the Money in the Bank ladder match, and he shocked the world when he cashed in his contract on Bobby Lashley and became the new WWE Champion. Unfortunately for Big E his title run only lasted a few months, and he has seemingly been removed from the title picture after dropping the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar at Day 1 back in January.

During a recent appearance on Superstar Crossover the former champion opened up about his title run, and he admitted that there were several things he would do differently.

“I think there are several things I would do differently. But like I said, my focus really is just on performing. I do the best I can. I wish it would have lasted longer and we would have had that period to produce more dynamic things. It’s difficult to latch on to a new champion when, within the first month, they have multiple losses on TV. We can go down this path, but I appreciate, genuinely, the people who support me and wanted better for me. I also want better for myself. I guess I’ll just leave it there.”

The way WWE booked Kofi Kingston’s WWE Title run has been criticized by some fans as well, but following his loss Big E noted that he tried to follow the example Kofi set when he dropped the belt.

“I think the thing about Kofi is he’s not a guy who’s gonna pull you aside and lecture you, he leads by action. I was able to see the way he handled things with his title run and the way things ended. It’s interesting how our runs weren’t too drastically different. That falling off of a cliff feeling at the hands of one Brock Lesnar and then suddenly, it feels like you woke up a year prior and you’re back to doing what you were doing before. He’s a guy who handled it with grace. He’s a guy who didn’t complain, show up to work pouting. He’s a consummate professional and someone who always leads by example.”
