This week’s SmackDown (6/11) saw a heavyweight tag team match between the duo of Big E, and Kevin Owens against Sami Zayn, and the Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews, with Azeez. The latter team was severely defeated in the opening match. Owens got the victory over the Heel team as he nailed Sami Zayn with a stunner after skillfully dodging the Helluva kick. After the match, Owens and E stood victorious in the middle of the ring, as Azeez and Sami checked up on Crews at ringside. Big E [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/big-e] and Owens [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-owens] were leaving the ring when Apollo stopped them. He said he only lost to the duo because he was paired up with the “idiot” Sami Zayn [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sami-zayn]. He then proceeded to challenge the former IC champions to a tag team match next week, but this time he would team up with Azeez. Owens and E accepted the challenge, while Sami Zayn came up to protest against Crews’ calling him an idiot. He claimed that Crews and Azeez “set him up” to lose the match and demanded an apology. The 7ft tall giant dropped a Nigerian Nail on Zayn, ending the segment.

Next week would be Azeez’s first match on WWE SmackDown. The former football player had a brief appearance on WWE RAW Underground under his previous name ‘Dabba Kato.’ Azeez, whose real name is Babatunde Aiyegbusi, was a Minnesota Vikings member. He signed up with WWE Performance Center in 2016 and debuted on NXT later that year. He had brief appearances on NXT Evolve before coming to RAW and developing a winning streak on Underground. However, Braun Strowman broke the streak, hinting at a rivalry. Azeez disappeared from TV after that. He returned at WrestleMania 37 where he played a crucial part in helping Crews win the IC title from Big E in the Nigerian Drum Fight. Crews, who adapted to a gimmick of a Nigerian Royalty, then introduced Azeez as his commander. The latter has helped Crews in multiple matches. Azeez stands at 7ft, with a weight of 350 lbs, making him one of the giants in the company. The fans would look forward to seeing Azeez’s dominance in the ring next week.

<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
<h2>Big E Net Worth 2022</h2>

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>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-568771 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301173421/FeelThePower_Podcast_showhub-c23cfe354b0d18bb3de250d9092c4802.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="526" />

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>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Kevin Owens 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Kevin Yanick Steen, better known to the WWE Universe as Kevin Owens, is a professional wrestler from Quebec, Canada, currently signed to the Raw brand of the WWE. Owens is widely regarded as one of the best talents of the modern era with his fan following almost assuming a cult status.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Coming from a humble background, Owens had to cut his teeth on the independent circuit before even dreaming of the bright lights of WWE. However, such was his dedication, that despite not knowing a word of English as a child due to his native language being French, he watched episodes of Raw to learn the language. Contrast that with today when he is considered one of the best talkers in all of sports entertainment.</p>


[caption id="attachment_451609" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-451609 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1170069748.jpg" alt="Owens during a Live event" width="1920" height="1280" /> MARCO POLO ORTOGAS, PASIG CITY, METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES - 2019/09/20: WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens had a meet and greet session with the members of the media in Manila last September 20 to promote the upcoming WWE Live Event at the Araneta Coliseum later that night. (Photo by Dennis Jerome Acosta/Pacific Press/LightRocket via Getty Images)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">Kevin began his career with the ring name Kevin Steen which gave him widespread popularity in the independent circuit. Along with his best friend Sami Zayn, he dominated the rosters of Ring of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerilla. He began his career in the year 2000 at the young age of 16.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">After years of dedication and hard work, WWE came calling. He was signed to the developmental brand of NXT in 2014. Owens is regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern NXT that converted the once redundant brand into a global force to reckon with.</p>
<img class="size-full wp-image-326902 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200729093656/960-71.jpg" alt="kevin owens" width="960" height="620" />
<p style="text-align: center">His run in NXT reached its zenith after he betrayed his long time friend Sami Zayn in pursuit of the NXT Championship. Owens became the Champion after an iconic rivalry with his fellow Canadian that kickstarted a heel run that took Owens to the stratosphere.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">In fact, his main roster debut came even while he was still the NXT Champion. He answered the US Open challenge of the legendary John Cena and went on to defeat him for the United States Championship, something that shocked everyone and instantly made Owens a bonafide star.</p>

(Photo by JP Yim/Getty Images)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">Owens would lose his NXT Championship after a great feud with Fin Balor, completely transitioning to the main roster. After struggling on the mid-card for some time post his Cena rivalry, Owens had his big moment in 2016 when he was handpicked by Triple H to win the WWE Universal Championship.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Kevin Owens had a career-defining rivalry with authority figure Shane McMahon. At one point in their rivalry, Kevin Owens was fired from WWE and even filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against McMahon. Finally, Owens defeated McMahon decisively and kicked him out of the WWE, establishing himself as a top babyface.</p>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-616440" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/120420211618233756Kevin Owens best-ms-gjwphktkvq.jpg" alt="" />
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">After defeating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 36, ‘The Prizefighter’ set his eyes on WWE Universal Championship. However, Roman Reigns was still a force to reckoned with. The two heavyweights brawled during the ‘Thunderdome Era’.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">Eventually, the two of them met at the Extreme Rules PPV in 2021 where Reigns was the eventual winner. After that defeat, Owens’ WWE contract was at its end and the WWE Universe speculated that the former WWE Champion would jump ship to AEW.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">However, Owens surprised everyone when he re-signed his WWE contract. Since his re-signing Owens has been a different force in the company. The 36-year-old superstar put his eyes on the WWE Championship. However, always found himself at the losing end.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">Currently, Owens is in a tag team with his former opponent, Seth Rollins. The duo fights on the red brand and claims that they will soon become the Raw Tag Team Champions.</span></p>

MARCO POLO ORTOGAS, PASIG CITY, METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES &#8211; 2019/09/20: WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens had a meet and greet session with the members of the media in Manila last September 20 to promote the upcoming WWE Live Event at the Araneta Coliseum later that night. (Photo by Dennis Jerome Acosta/Pacific Press/LightRocket via Getty Images) Kevin began his career with the ring name Kevin Steen which gave him widespread popularity in the independent circuit. Along with his best friend Sami Zayn, he dominated the rosters of Ring of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerilla. He began his career in the year 2000 at the young age of 16. After years of dedication and hard work, WWE came calling. He was signed to the developmental brand of NXT in 2014. Owens is regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern NXT that converted the once redundant brand into a global force to reckon with. His run in NXT reached its zenith after he betrayed his long time friend Sami Zayn in pursuit of the NXT Championship. Owens became the Champion after an iconic rivalry with his fellow Canadian that kickstarted a heel run that took Owens to the stratosphere. In fact, his main roster debut came even while he was still the NXT Champion. He answered the US Open challenge of the legendary John Cena and went on to defeat him for the United States Championship, something that shocked everyone and instantly made Owens a bonafide star.

(Photo by JP Yim/Getty Images) Owens would lose his NXT Championship after a great feud with Fin Balor, completely transitioning to the main roster. After struggling on the mid-card for some time post his Cena rivalry, Owens had his big moment in 2016 when he was handpicked by Triple H to win the WWE Universal Championship. Kevin Owens had a career-defining rivalry with authority figure Shane McMahon. At one point in their rivalry, Kevin Owens was fired from WWE and even filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against McMahon. Finally, Owens defeated McMahon decisively and kicked him out of the WWE, establishing himself as a top babyface. After defeating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 36, ‘The Prizefighter’ set his eyes on WWE Universal Championship. However, Roman Reigns was still a force to reckoned with. The two heavyweights brawled during the ‘Thunderdome Era’. Eventually, the two of them met at the Extreme Rules PPV in 2021 where Reigns was the eventual winner. After that defeat, Owens’ WWE contract was at its end and the WWE Universe speculated that the former WWE Champion would jump ship to AEW. However, Owens surprised everyone when he re-signed his WWE contract. Since his re-signing Owens has been a different force in the company. The 36-year-old superstar put his eyes on the WWE Championship. However, always found himself at the losing end. Currently, Owens is in a tag team with his former opponent, Seth Rollins. The duo fights on the red brand and claims that they will soon become the Raw Tag Team Champions. Kevin Owens 2022 Stats Kevin Owens has won numerous championships in the WWE and around the world. He is a one-time ROH World Champion and a one-time ROH tag team champion, while he is also a three-time PWG World Champion.

<h2>History</h2>
<h3>Early Career and Promotions</h3>
Sami Zayn worked hard like any wrestler to get where he is today. He worked for several developmental promotions such as International Wrestling Syndicate, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Chikara, and ROH (Ring of Honour) before making it to NXT.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/112/814/El-Generico_crop_north.jpg?1358794735&amp;w=3072&amp;h=2048" alt="" width="1440" height="960" data-noaft="1" />

Many may not know it, but the ‘Battery Man’ wrestled for 13 years of his wrestling career wearing a mask; he called himself El Generico. However, when he joined NXT, he took off that mask.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Sami Zayn had a boatload of experience owing to his knowledge from the best of the promotions. While most wrestlers choose one, Zayn went through it all.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8f/c6/55/8fc655e016a5d762877e33499b2d6a12.jpg" alt="" width="4288" height="2848" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>WWE NXT</h3>
Coming into WWE’s developmental brand, Zayn already had 11 years of experience in him from his past wrestling endeavors. And his skill quickly placed him above the rest.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/63TiOlxIKjucAFGzrjh1t-n36es=/0x0:708x472/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49917993/NXT_REV_Photob_54-4035331215.0.0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1310" height="873" data-noaft="1" />

Zayn became so good that he even called himself ‘The Heart and Soul of NXT’ for a while. In his debut year, Sami Zayn worked the entire time towards the NXT Championship.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

From his first match in January 2013, he worked his way up to the title but was pushed down. He finally managed to clinch it in December that year with a victory over Neville.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/tribdem.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/4d/34d197e0-8737-11e4-b8d0-b363d40ac74f/5493a9060d278.image.jpg" alt="" width="1020" height="680" data-noaft="1" />

‘The Untouchable’ lost his title after 62 days following a disastrous defeat at the hands of Kevin Owens, who would go on to have a major role in Zayn’s career.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>WWE Main roster</h3>
Sami Zayn made it into the main roster and found himself among the biggest names in the business. He quickly got into a feud with an old rival, one that took the gold away from him.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2017/03/160_RAW_03272017jg_3850--bee872d0b5beacee1234fb8831d621f0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Sami spent the better half of the year in a storyline against Kevin Owens, who had already stirred the main roster after his arrival. Zayn also feuded with Braun Strowman, against whom he didn’t stand a chance.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Not long after winning the feud against Owens, the two teamed up to fight the authority that is Shane McMahon. Sami and Owens, gelling well due to their long real-life friendship, managed to work splendidly together.

It would take Sami Zayn a brand switch to SmackDown to be recognized as his own wrestler. Now, much more free and annoying, Zayn was a crowd-pleaser and was splendid in promos.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>Intercontinental Championship reigns</h3>
WWE decided to reward this energy by putting the WWE Intercontinental Championship on his shoulders. Unfortunately, this title would not stay with him for long.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/1589833/wwe-smackdown-sami-zayn-wins-intercontinental-championship.jpg?w=1600&amp;h=900&amp;l=50&amp;t=33&amp;q=88&amp;f=0b5b0a21121ff1802543255eae919b32" alt="" width="1600" height="900" data-noaft="1" />

Sami Zayn was stripped of his reign due to his inability to defend his title in the pandemic. It was a harsh end to his successful run, but the story was not over yet.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

‘The Untouchable’ made his much-awaited return in August 2020 to reclaim his gold. Zayn claimed that he never lost his title and challenged then Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy to a fight, with AJ Styles also joining in the action.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://dl.img-news.com/dl/img/s0/dl/i2/2020/10/wwe-smackdown-02102020-sami-zayn.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="540" data-noaft="1" />

Zayn won and proved his mettle, regaining the title. Nearly 3 months later, he lost the same title to Big E on the December 25 episode of SmackDown.

Sami Zayn is a rare wonder, and no one gets sick of his gimmick.

<span style="font-weight: 400">The reigning Intercontinental Champion gained a lot of mainstream media attention when he started a feud with Hollywood star, Johnny Knoxville.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">This Hollywood-WWE crossover gave the fans one of the best moments of this year so far. The two enemies wrested inside at this year’s men’s Royal Rumble where Knoxville got the better of Zayn and eliminated him from the Rumble.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, Sami then moved on to Knoxville to his old enemy, Shinsuke Nakamura. Not much time after his Royal Rumble bout, Zayn challenged Nakamura for his Intercontinental Championship on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Eventually, Zayn became a three-time Intercontinental Champion at the recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown.</span>
