WWE has been growing its relationship with NASCAR for quite some time now. Many NASCAR drivers have appeared on WWE TV and we have even seen two-time Champion Kyle Busch win the WWE 24/7 title on RAW. The WWE and NASCAR tag teams are getting stronger by the day and it went up a level after a WWE superstar did intros for the NASCAR Championship 4 event.

Fans have seen NASCAR drivers appear on WWE programming in recent years, whether it is backstage or at the ringside. It was now the turn of a WWE star to make a NASCAR appearance ahead of the big championship event.
Former WWE Champion Big E introduced the drivers before the NASCAR Championship 4 race. Big E did the introduction, pretty much like how he does for The New Day in WWE. The fans loved Big E’s energy and shared their excitement online.
Fans loved WWE star Big E’s NASCAR appearance
WWE continues to expand its horizon as sports stars and celebrities have become a constant feature of its programming. Likewise, many WWE stars have also been a part of other sports leagues and brought their massive crossover appeal with them.
Recently, NASCAR announced Big E as its MC ahead of its Championship 4 race in Phoenix. He introduced the race on November 6 and did intros for the four drivers as well. The New Day member has been out of in-ring action after suffering vertebrae fractures in March on an episode of SmackDown.
Nonetheless, Big E looked cheerful as ever when he did a very New Day-esque introduction to the NASCAR event. NASCAR uploaded the video of Big E doing intros on its Twitter and the fans loved seeing the WWE star take center stage.
Many fans took to Twitter to share their excitement about seeing Big E at a NASCAR event.
Great job by Big E. https://t.co/dycDNvlQIr

This dude oozes charisma and I’ve seen a video of him benching 500. It seems like he is perfect material to be a star wrestler

Some fans were more excited for Big E than the actual race.

Fans also thought of another idea to keep the former Tag Team Champion on WWE TV.
If he cannot wrestle again …we could use him just for this every week
— Chad McMahon (@ChadMcMahon14) November 6, 2022
We need @WWEBigE announcing WWE every week

Fans will now hope that the former WWE Champion can make a swift return to in-ring action after recovering from his horrible injury.
Big E once surpassed Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bench press record
New Day member Big E is one of the most talented and exciting superstars in WWE right now. He is also one of the strongest wrestlers out there. In 2002, Big E bench-pressed a massive 575 pounds, which is more than bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 525 pounds bench press.

The fact that Big E bench pressed 50 pounds more than the seven-time Mr. Olympia winner is impressive. This goes to show that when it comes to strength and power, WWE stars are right up there with some of the biggest names in the bodybuilding industry.
Currently, the eight-time WWE Tag Team Champion is out of action after suffering a neck injury during a match on SmackDown earlier this year. Although he has been feeling better, it is unclear when Big E will be able to make an in-ring return to WWE.
