Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Triple H talked about the impact Big E had caused on an individual level even being a part of The New Day. ‘The Game’ further added that the true potential of the New Day member is still not known to the WWE Universe.

For now, he seems interested in cashing in his contract on ‘The Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns to become the Universal champion.
