Big E was separated from The New Day in the 2020 WWE Draft. It marked the end of an incredible six-year tenure for The New Day - the longest-reigning faction in WWE history. It was clear that the company had other plans for Big E and his journey to singles stardom began.

On Christmas Day in 2020 (the episode was pre-taped before, however), he won the Intercontinental Championship and held onto it until WrestleMania 37, where he lost to Apollo Crews.

Big E will be one of the favorites to win the Money in the Bank ladder match. If he does, his journey to WWE World Championship glory will be fast-tracked. According to a tweet from WrestleVotes, WWE is potentially planning to shift Big E over to RAW, but still feature him as a singles star separate from The New Day:

We hope this isn't true because SmackDown is the perfect place for Big E right now. There's no need for WWE to move him over to RAW, even if they need fresh babyfaces.

Since SmackDown is the company's priority now, it would be the better brand to push Big E and keep him away from Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
