Big E is now a global superstar. The WWE Champion received a massive push from WWE recently. He successfully cashed in his Money in the Bank contract earlier this year to win the WWE Championship. Since then, many people have highly appreciated Big E. Most recently, NFL Star Braylon Edwards was in all praise for the WWE Champion.

Braylon Edwards is a former American wide receiver in NFL. He was the third pick in Round 1 of the NFL Draft in 2005 as the Cleveland Browns selected him. In 2007, Edwards experienced a breakout season and became the first Browns receiver to make the pro bowl since 1989.

The NFL star even admitted that Big E is the only Iowa Hawkeyes supporter that he will be taking a picture with all weekend. While Edwards will support the Michigan Wolverines, Big E will surely cheer for an Iowa Hawkeyes win.
