Yahoo Sports recently caught up with Big E to discuss a number of topics, including his newfound singles run (which comes as a result of his fellow members of The New Day - Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods - being sidelined with injuries). It's long overdue for the former NXT Champion, and the sky may now be the limit for the charismatic Superstar.
"This is all kind of coming out of nowhere," he admitted. "I feel confident that I am ready for this. The interesting thing and weird thing is we don’t have that organic response. I hope people enjoy this run, I hope it’s good and entertaining, I hope all of the people who have clamored for this for years are not disappointed."
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has spoken out in support of Big E getting a singles run, but the multi-time Tag Team Champion wants fans to know that he will continue representing The New Day.
"I always see it as I am a representative of the New Day," Big E explained. "The same way that Kofi credited Woods and me and said that when he won it was for all of us, that’s the same feeling I have. This adds to all of our legacies because I don’t get this far, I don’t have this much without those two. I don’t even know if I am around in this company without those two."
