Big E Reveals How Long He Plans To Keep Wrestling

Before dropping the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar, Big E was interviewed by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to promote the WWE Day 1 PPV.

During the interview, Big E was asked how long he intends to keep wrestling, to which he replied:

“This is not a job you can do into your 70’s. I guess you can, but I won’t be doing it in my 70’s. I think it’s a matter of seeing how I feel. I want to see in a couple of years how my body feels and where I’m at in my life. The thing is, we have a ton of guys who are married with kids. I am not one of them. Being WWE champion requires you to be gone a lot. The entire month of November, I had just three off days. Wrestling is a small part of the job. There are so many other facets be it interviews or appearances. Right now, I’m single and I’m hustling.”

He was also asked whether there are any side projects he’d like to work on while he has the opportunity to do so. He said:

“I’ve had the opportunity to do some voice work, which I love. I did an Adult Swim show called Lazor Wulf. Me and some producers have had a Kickstarter for an animated project about the life of civil rights activist Ruby Bridges called Our Heroes Rock. We’re hoping to turn that into a series to tell stories about other Black politicians, activists, and authors who aren’t represented enough. It’s our goal to use animation and hip-hop. It’s the spiritual successor to Schoolhouse Rock. Animation is a great vehicle for young people to learn something.”
