After Losing the Title, Big E Begins Climb Back Toward Becoming WWE Champion

BOSTON–More than a week has passed since Day 1, providing Big E time to reflect on his first run as WWE champion.

“I wanted it to be a five-course meal, and it was more of an appetizer,” Ettore “Big E” Ewen says. “I’m overly critical of my work to begin with, so I wouldn’t say I was happy with it. My hope was to knock it out of the park, and I fell a bit short. So it’s motivating to start that climb back.”

Only a month ago, Big E’s reign as WWE champion had just begun to take shape.
