WWE Superstar Big E still sees Aljamain Sterling as ‘babyface’ amid Petr Yan illegal knee controversy

As someone who is familiar with both the cheers and jeers of millions of fans worldwide, Big E has advice to offer Aljamain Sterling.

The WWE’s reigning Intercontinental Champion weighed in on the controversy surrounding UFC 259’s bantamweight title fight, which saw Sterling take Petr Yan’s belt when Yan was disqualified for an illegal knee to a grounded opponent in the fourth round. Sterling has been quick to fire back at critics who have questioned the validity of his championship win and how he’s conducted himself afterwards, but Big E doesn’t believe this necessarily makes him the bad guy in the situation.
