Before he found his biggest success as a member of the wildly popular New Day, Big E appeared primed to be a big-time singles Superstar. He came very close to being the guy who would hand Rusev his first loss back during the Bulgarian Brute's year-long winning streak. He also became the Intercontinental Champion but was staggered and stalled out. Eventually, he was found and saved by Xavier Woods, and the rest is history.

Big E is just shy of 34 years old and has a ton of time left in his career. The New Day were drafted together this year to Friday Night SmackDown, which lends even more credence to the idea that the group may split up.

As soon as Kofi Kingston won the WWE Championship, so many people were sure that Big E would turn on him, but it hasn't happened yet. Maybe Big E will earn an opportunity to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title and be unsuccessful, and that is what leads to the turn on the New Day. It would be a different take on the jealousy angle, and it could be brilliant.
