Big E has had a rude awakening and is undoubtedly making the best of his solo run since the draft. His split from New Day has seen him return as the monster we once knew in NXT. Paul Heyman seems to be interested in this development.
Heyman saw the true evolution in Big E after SmackDown last week. On the latest episode of Talking Smack with Kayla Braxton, he was quite impressed with the gritty promise Big E gave.

The long-time manager was jaw dropped.
“It’s about damn time. It’s about damn time that this Big E came to the surface,” said Heyman. “This is the Big E we’ve all been waiting for.”
The former General Manager of Raw went on to give a reality check. He explained how Big E was the real muscle of New Day. He seemingly convinced the former tag-team champion that he was being held down during his time with Kofi and Xavier Woods.
Paul Heyman is closely watching Big E and his progress
Paul Heyman has been the manager of legendary champions that go up to CM Punk, Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar, “Ravishing” Rick Rude, and most recently Roman Reigns.
There is a large chance that he may want to get Big E under his belt. Following Sami Zayn’s timid display against the big man, we can only expect the Intercontinental Championship to change hands soon.
Heyman made a huge statement and comparison using his current client Roman Reigns. He explained how no one even talks about The Shield anymore when ‘The Big Dog’ enters the ring.

New Day was one of the best Tag teams in WWE history. Their impressive 5-year run was studded with gold. However, Big E has a lot to think about now.
Many assumed Reigns peaked with his Shield gimmick until the Tribal Chief showed up. He has moved far past his barriers of The Shield and inarguably, so have Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley).

Will New Day along with Kofi and Woods be just a footnote in Big E’s story? It’s all up to the big man as Heyman watches eagerly from the screens.
