Big E officially became a main eventer when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract last year on Bobby Lashley, and he was the main champion on Raw for months. However, Big E ended up dropping the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar at the Day 1 pay-per-view back in January, and shortly after WWE moved him to SmackDown and put him back in the tag team division.
Recently Big E discussed his title run with talkSPORT, and he admitted that he hoped to continue chasing the WWE Championship after he lost the belt.
“But, I don’t want any of that to be perceived as me taking away from being with Kofi and Woods. That’s my greatest delight. For me, it was a transition I will say I did not expect at this time in my career.”
“I had hoped to climb back and try once again to win back the WWE championship. But, we have a pretty big champion [Roman Reigns] and pretty big title on SmackDown as well so, you never know. Right now, my focus is all about controlling what I can and doing the best with what I’m given, and that’s always been my focus.”
Do you think WWE should have kept Big E in the title picture longer? Sound off in the comments below.
