WWE Star Who Is Behind Big E’s Push Revealed

WWE Star Who Is Behind Big E’s Push Revealed

One of the people to benefit from this weird year has been Big E. His run on SmackDown in recent months has been enjoyable and the first real singles push he has had in over six years.

Now, we know who is behind his push. Speaking with Gorilla Position, Big E revealed that Daniel Bryan was the one to come up with the idea of his solo run. Here is the full quote, courtesy of Fightful:

“With the Sheamus program, we talked about ideas like new music and new presentation for me and we talked about ‘when is the right time to play it?’ and we never got around to it because I hadn’t been in the arena for a few months because a lot of our stuff happened backstage until we had the match. With SmackDown, we don’t have as many segments to fill. We’re afforded the luxury of being able to do a little more creative stuff.

I’m not entirely sure the differences between the Raw and SmackDown creative team, but the nice part is I feel like I have a voice with the SmackDown creative team. We’re able to go back and forth with ideas and they’re actually listening. Also, I have to give credit to Daniel Bryan. The idea for the solo run was from him. He’s the reason. Not just, ‘Hey, Big E…’ he’s actually part of the process and he’s the one who said, ‘This is what we should do with Big E.’ It feels like an environment where I do have a voice and I get to do what I want by any means.”

Big E was able to defeat Sheamus at Payback, marking the first time he had won a singles match on pay per view since Elimination Chamber 2014 when he defeated Jack Swagger.
