It's no secret that Big E is in line for a big singles push in WWE, and in an interview with SportsKeeda to promote Survivor Series' celebration of The Undertaker's career, the former New Day member opened up about a backstage interaction he once had with the Deadman.
"Most people will remember the on-screen stuff but for us, as performers, getting those backstage conversations [with The Undertaker] was like gold," Big E revealed. "I remember one such conversation when he told me, 'Man, I watched you when you first came up [to the main roster], and I had no idea you had as much personality as you showed. When I heard that, it really made my day."
"To be honest, it more than just my day, to be complimented by a guy like that, a man of his stature. I was really appreciative," he added.
Big E would go on to say that having The Undertaker backstage was massively beneficial, and that he took great pride in being able to meet his children, who are big fans of The New Day. "It's remarkable that he's been around for 30 years and still going strong. He's on that Mt. Rushmore of Wrestling."
It's hard to disagree with that, and we can only hope that Big E's singles run is a success. After all, he's got all the making of a top star in WWE, and it's all going to depend on how well he's booked by the company in the coming weeks.
