It is a well-known fact by now that Big E was touted to be the face of WWE before the company chose to run with Roman Reigns as the star of the show. He certainly has the look, a connection with fans that few others in the roster do and most importantly, he has the skill and the ability to compete for the WWE Championship at the top of the card.

Now that Kofi Kingston has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top of the card and Xavier Woods is on the shelf, it may be time for Big E to look past the tag team division and aim for the stars. There were rumors recently about The New Day possibly turning heel, and if this is going to be the case it could make for a very interesting reset when it comes to Big E's character in WWE. No more hips will be swung but instead, Big E will adopt a more menacing personality because heels generally do not sway their hips.
Even if Brock Lesnar were to squash Big E, it would be a step up for the man if he broke out and rose to main event status, I feel. A push few would honestly complain about.
