Big E is grateful to his friends and his humble beginings
In the backstage interview, Big E is still fathoming his historic victory over Bobby Lashley. He also said thanks to his best friends of the ‘New Day’ – Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
“It’s the moments that I really treasure. And, I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about the moment. I go out, my music, that crowd has seen me dozen times. To have people, your peer, the fans, and these two jacka**es [pointing towards Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston]. It means the world to me, so I appreciate it for sure.”

“I will always remember the three of us, fighting to get on TV and we’ve been able to do so many incredible [things]. I’m glad that it took so long because it feels earned. I’m glad that I wasn’t handed things right away. That I had time to grow, to do all the things we had chances to do.” Big E said.
