Big E needs a feud with Seth Rollins and vice versa. Not only will it be a new direction for both men but it will also freshen up things on SmackDown.

Seth Rollins vs. Cesaro has been amazing but it's just gone on forever, has it not?

The two men have a history that stretches back to NXT, where Big E defeated Seth Rollins to become the second NXT Champion. They can draw upon this fact as both men go to war.

#1 A tussle with the WWE Universal Champion

During an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, The Miz told us that he believes that Big E could become the Universal Champion very soon. We too believe that a feud between Roman Reigns and The New Day member, two actual powerhouses, could be a great draw for the WWE Universe, especially when the company hits the road once again.

Delighted that @mikethemiz is WWE champion. Nice dude. Check out my interview with The Miz from last year. https://t.co/KvmUmBdVer

Nobody has come close to dethroning Roman Reigns yet, but Big E is certainly a worthy candidate. It remains to be seen whether the company can trust this big man to be the face of the brand.

How do you think the Aleister Black vs. Big E feud would have panned out, and did Vince McMahon lose out on a major opportunity by releasing the former NXT Champion? Sound off in the comments below and let us know your thoughts.
