Many young WWE fans had their hearts broken on the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown. Popular Tag Team, The New Day, was split up! Just when Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston made their long-awaited return and won their titles back, and it looked like the new SmackDown Tag-team Champions were ready for a reunion, they met their bitter end [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-smackdown-news-wwe-universe-reacts-to-the-shocking-separation-of-the-new-day/]. WWE SmackDown Results: WWE Draft sees Seth Rollins move to SmackDown; The New Day gets split into two brands | PINKVILLA [https://www.pinkvilla.com/files/wwe_smackdown_results_wwe_draft_2020_day_1_seth_rollins_the_new_day.jpg] While Big E was drafted to SmackDown, Kofi and Woods were drafted to Raw. This means that their team has been split indefinitely. The looks of shock on their faces were priceless. However, there was a deep-rooted reason why WWE split up this crowd-favorite tag-team. Kofi Kingston comments on New Day break-up speculation | Wrestling News [https://s33079.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Kofi-Kingston-New-Day-1000x600.jpg] Big E, the powerhouse of New Day, has been restrained by his relations to the team. For those that remember, Big E was a beast back in his NXT days. His name was heard in fear, and everyone knew things were going down when he stepped in the ring. Now, we just can’t take him seriously when he enters as part of the New Day. The very friendly gimmick never really suited the character of the New Day member, even though he pulled it off well. Big E Langston: photos | WWE [https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/photo/image/2013/08/NXT_182_Photo_06-1] WWE PLANS TO GIVE BIG E A HUGE PUSH AND POSSIBLY A TITLE RUN WWE wants to give him a big push, which is why he has been given solo-run space. Big E was given a chance at going solo ever since New Day lost the tag team titles. He proved himself over and over again. Big E on His Way to Become an Unstoppable Force in WWE, Here's Why - EssentiallySports [https://wrestlingheadlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Big-E.jpeg] This is the main reason why WWE wants to try him as a singles star. Big E is much more suited for the role of an anti-hero or heel rather than a babyface. Giving him a solo run is something overdue for his character. We can also expect Kofi [https://www.wwe.com/superstars/kofi-kingston] and Xavier Woods to continue as the New Day on Raw. This would be most likely since the two may not have solo paths mapped out for them. The New Day separated in shocking development in WWE Draft | WWE [https://www.wwe.com/f/2020/10/20201009_SD_NewDaySplit--906407486e35f1c32c1814b1956c3c8d.jpg] It could also be the beginning of the speculated Tag Team title unification. WWE may have plans to merge the Raw and SmackDown tag team Championships for the men’s division. This would create a much better Tag team division as a whole. We are set to see the best of Big E. The behemoth has the backing of fans and Vince McMahon himself. There’s really nothing more one could ask for.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-568781 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301174205/big-e-2.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" />

One of the strongest and physically imposing superstars on the roster, Big E is the current Intercontinental Championship. The former member of the New Day is WWE's brightest prospect and has been pushed to be the next main event star of the company.

Prior to making a career in wrestling, Big E was an excellent power lifter and one who broke American power lifting records. He dreamed of becoming a professional footballer but suffered too many injuries to fulfill it. Instead, he pursued wrestling and got signed to a developmental contract.

Big E wrestled at Florida Championship Wrestling, WWE's developmental territory before they established NXT. After NXT came into the picture, Big E became the brand's second champion, beating fellow FCW alumni Seth Rollins.
<h2>WWE main roster (2012-Present)</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-568775 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301173622/big-e-and-dolph-ziggler.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

Big E debuted on the main roster as AJ Lee's bodyguard, attacking John Cena. He soon formed a team with Dolph Ziggler, AJ's boyfriend. The team even challenged for the WWE Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania, but were beaten by Team Hell No. The former power lifter was also by Ziggler's side when he cashed in the MITB contract on the Raw after WrestleMania.

Big E turned on Ziggler when he broke up with AJ Lee and embarked on a singles run of his own. He beat Curtis Axel to win his first title on the main roster, the Intercontinental Championship. He defended it against the likes of The Miz, Cesaro, Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Curtis Axel.
<h2>New Day (2014-2020)</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-568474 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301135204/Xavier-Woods-Big-E-and-Kofi-Kingston-as-New-Day.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />

After dropping the title to Bad News Barrett at Extreme Rules 2014, Big E found himself directionless, but found a new trajectory. Alongside Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, the New Day became one of WWE's most successful stables. They currently hold the record for the longest Tag Team Championship reign of all time.

With the group, Big E won eight tag team championships. Once the group disbanded in 2020, E embarked on another singles run. He beat Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship on Christmas Day. However, this was just the beginning of the push that he received from WWE.

Big E lost the Intercontinental title to Apollo Crews at the WrestleMania 37 pay-per-view after interference from Commander Azeez.
However, this hardly hindered Big E’s singles run as he targeted the Money in the Bank contract. Big E surprised everyone when he won the briefcase at the MITB PPV, making him the first African-American superstar to hold the contract.

On September 13th, Big E cashed in his Money in the Bank contract against Bobby Lashley on an episode of Raw and won the WWE Championship for the first time in his career and became the thirty-third Triple Crown Champion of the company

The former power lifter may have shattered records and won numerous trophies prior to his WWE career, but his wrestling record isn't less impressive.

Big E was the second NXT Champion in history, beating Seth Rollins for the title. He is a two-time Intercontinental Champion. With the New Day, he's held eight tag team championships; two Raw Tag Titles and six SmackDown tag titles.

<span style="font-weight: 400">He also won the Money In the Bank contract and successfully cashed in on Bobby Lashley.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Big E is also the reigning WWE champion, where he has successfully defended his title against the likes of Bobby Lashley and Kevin Owens.</span>

We know not much about the superstar's personal life. He was born in Tampa, Florida, and is the son of Jamaican and Montserratian immigrants. He and his New Day teammates have a podcast called 'Feel the Power'.

Big E created an animated show called 'Our Heroes Rock!', along with Jonathan Davenport and Andreas Hale.
