Big E Addresses Potential Solo WWE Hall Of Fame Induction

WWE

Big E has shared his thoughts on a potential solo induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, rather than being honored alongside Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston of The New Day.

With 10 WWE Tag Team Title reigns to their name and countless memorable moments, few fans would argue The New Day receiving a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame at some point in the future.

However, with Big E, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston all having success in their own right in WWE, there is arguably enough of case for the trio to receive solo inductions as well.

Speaking on 107.7 The Bone, Big E was asked whether he thinks he should be inducted as a singles star or as The New Day.

Big E said:

“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 really, I feel like what people know me as, and the time in 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, (but) I don’t know if I had enough time as a singles superstar to really be a stalwart as just a singles superstar, but 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.”

Almost four years on from breaking his neck during a match on SmackDown in March 2022, Big E confirmed his retirement from in-ring competition last week.
