Big E's WWE Championship win has been highly celebrated by his colleagues and fans alike. It was a deserving world championship win, and arguably the best cash-in of the briefcase since Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley in 2016.

It's hard to see moments that receive unanimous praise. If anything, Big E's WWE title win proves that when it's good, there are few things in the world better than professional wrestling.

It should come as no surprise that his world title win came as a huge morale booster. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Big E is highly-regarded in the locker room, with all his peers happy for his success.

Sportskeeda Wrestling's Zain Jafri wrote:

"It was seen as a big deal, based on Big E's close relationship with members of the locker room. Johnson further stated that members of the SmackDown roster wished they could have been present in Boston for this momentous occasion."

We hope this is true because a boost in backstage morale is exactly what RAW needs. For a superstar close to Big E, seeing a superstar like him succeed undoubtedly sends a strong message across.

Hopefully, his WWE title win is the boost that RAW needs.
