Former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston recently appeared on CBS Sports "State of Combat" podcast, and discussed a wide range of topics. The New Day member made a bold statement in regards to Big E's future, and said that it's just a matter of time before he carries the top title.

"I think that when you talk to E, he's very modest about it. He says he just shows up to work and does what he's supposed to do. I think we all know, and we wouldn't be having this conversation if we didn't know E's potential to be able to carry the load.
"He's phenomenal on the mic, he's funny, he can be intense, he's well-spoken. He's just an all-around good dude. I think it's just a matter of time. When the time is right, he will definitely be somebody that can take the bull by the horns and lead the charge."

Big E, before moving up to the main roster, held the NXT title on one occasion. Although he has accomplished a lot during his stint on the main roster, he hasn't held the WWE Championship yet. It would be interesting to see how WWE goes ahead with a Big E main event run, if the promotion decides to do so in the near future.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
