WWE veteran and current AEW announcer Jim Ross had major praise for Big E while speaking on Grilling JR. The WWE Hall of Famer stated that Big E is a hard-working superstar. Ross said he's very happy that he is finally getting a major singles push.

Jim Ross talked about how Big E passed Vince McMahon's eye test, insinuating that Big E has the perfect look to be a WWE Superstar. Ross also said that, in his view, Big E is a bona fide future world champion for WWE.

''I'm happy for him. He is a really good guy, Big E is a really good guy, and I like for really good guys to get their break and then realize they got a break and now run with the son of a b****. He will be the Universal Champion or WWE Champion sooner than later in his career. No doubt in my mind."

There had been rumors that Big E was one of the names in the running to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37. However, it looks like a run at the top of the card will have to wait for the current Intercontinental Champion.
