10 wrestlers who need a push after WrestleMania

#4 Big E

Big E is the total package and will one day be a big-time main event player

Now let’s not be silly. Big E has been a player from the very beginning. He got over big when he burst onto the scene in NXT and defeated Seth Rollins to become the second ever NXT Champion -- while Rollins was already a member of The Shield, and Reigns and Ambrose were at ringside! After losing the title to Bo Dallas he soon made his way to the main roster and immediately became an important part of the show. He teamed with Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee, then feuded with Ziggler after Dolph turned babyface. Before that, he teamed with Ziggler at WrestleMania 29 to challenge Daniel Bryan and Kane for the Tag Team Championship, only 4 months into his run on the main roster. That’s a pretty big deal.

He turned face later that year and challenged Dean Ambrose unsuccessfully for the United States Championship, but soon after, won the Intercontinental Championship, becoming champion almost exactly 11 months after his main roster debut. He held the belt for 6 months and then quickly entered a feud with Rusev, who had just burst onto the scene in a big way, dominating everyone. Big E was seen as pretty much the first guy who had a chance to defeat Rusev, and they had a great series of matches. Big E was ultimately unsuccessful, but he had a ton of crowd support.

Then came The New Day, which has now been going strong for nearly 3 and a half years. Big E is easily one of the most successful NXT call-ups, probably only behind the three members of The Shield. So why does he need a push? Well, The New Day can’t last forever, and lately, it feels like they may be on their way out as a team. It’s been an amazing run, but it’s time for Big E to become the singles superstar that he was born to become, and it starts this year.
