Plans always change in professional wrestling, but Big E appreciates people speaking up about what they wanted for him as WWE Champion.
Former WWE Champion and current SmackDown star Big E recently spoke with TalkSPORT and delved into being blindsided by the company’s decision to move him over to the blue brand alongside his fellow New Day stablemates Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
“My focus has been on controlling what I can. We’ve had several interviews and I’m sure I’ve already talked your ears off about meditation and how much that has helped me. But, that’s my job. I focus on being the performer and do the very best with what I’m given, that’s my focus. 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.”
Big E then reiterated that he’s focused on controlling what he can and doing the best with what he has, but he’s still touched that so many people think that highly of him.
“My thing is, I’ve tried to have more light in my life. I want to receive more and give more as well. It makes me think alright, I must have done something right along the way for so many people to be so supportive. So those are the things I truly cherish and I’m appreciative of.”
