Butch f.k.a. Pete Dunne is WWE’s latest addition to the SmackDown roster. Moreover, he made a statement in his debut as he went after former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston. WWE seems to have repackaged Pete Dunne into a new persona and is simply calling him Butch. It seems like Butch has impressed a former WWE consultant and also a big name in the wrestling industry- Gabe Sapolsky. This respected pro-wrestling personality has worked for many wrestling promotions, including WWE and Paul Heyman’s ECW. Moreover, his crowning achievement was that he was the head booker for Ring of Honor Wrestling. Butch made a huge impact on the WWE Universe. He was one of the mainstays of NXT for years and has impressed WWE audiences with his unreal power and intense wrestling style. However, Butch, who is now part of the main roster, is looking to widen his horizons. The perfect way to do that is to align yourself with some veterans of the business and he did exactly that. WWE booked Kofi Kingston and Big E to face Sheamus and Holland, but Butch came out with the latter duo and proved to be the deciding factor of the match. After a brutal match, Butch interfered and distracted Kofi, which led to Sheamus taking advantage and picking up the victory. Read more: Butch or Botch? Wrestling Fans Flip Out on WWE for Changing Pete Dunne’s Name on SmackDown: “Jesus Christ, That’s Like 100 Times Worse Than Gunther” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-butch-or-botch-wrestling-fans-flip-out-on-wwe-for-changing-pete-dunnes-name-on-smackdown-jesus-christ-thats-like-100-times-worse-than-gunther/] However, it is only at the end where Butch showed his edgy new character as he relentlessly beat up a defenseless Kofi Kingston until he was pulled away. WHO IS BUTCH FROM NXT? Formerly known as Pete Dunne, Butch is an incredible athlete. He is a former WWE United Kingdom Champion. Moreover, he is also a former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion. He won that title alongside his partner, ‘The Original Bro’ Matt Riddle. Pete also won the 2020 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament on NXT. Butch’s accomplishments go beyond WWE [http://wwe.com], as he was an incredibly successful wrestler in the independents as well. He won many championships in smaller promotions. However, his fans cannot wait to see what Butch does next with his biggest career opportunity yet. The future looks bright for the rising SmackDown star.

<h1 class="acss2f015">Big E 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h1>
<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

According to his WWE contract, E’s basic salary is $500,000. However, he is also subjected to getting more pay on his merchandise sale for the company.</span>
<h2>Big E Achievements</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-568769 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301173243/big-e-ic-champion.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" />

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>

He was part of the first-ever tag-team Hell in a Cell match and first tag team Elimination Chamber match.
<h2>Personal Life</h2>

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. The show is based on a concept that originally began as wrestling gear designed by <span class="bold">Jonathan Davenport became much more ambitious when a conversation with Andreas Hale led to the idea to create an animated series that brings attention to some lesser-known stories in our history that will be empowering to young men and women of color.  </span>
