The New Day went their separate ways last year in the WWE Draft with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods heading to WWE RAW and Big E staying on SmackDown. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were RAW Tag Team Champions until recently when they lost the titles to The Hurt Business. Big E has been pushed as a singles star since then and recently beat Sami Zayn to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

It now looks like Big E could possibly be one of the favorites to win the men’s Royal Rumble later this month. According to a source who spoke to SK Wrestling, Big E is one of the favorites this year and is someone Vince McMahon likes:

Another big favorite at the moment is Big E because he's had years of exposure in WWE, and 2021 could be his year. Vince likes him. H/T: SK Wrestling
