Former WWE Champion Big E who is also a former two times WWE United States champion and a former eight times WWE Tag Team Champion recently discussed which Championship he would go after if he gets to win the Royal Rumble match this Saturday.
A couple of weeks ago Big E announced that he would be participating into the Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble pay per view event. Currently he is out of the WWE championship picture after failing to win the fatal 4 way match which determined the number one contender for the WWE title.
Big E On Which Championship He Would Go After If He Wins Royal Rumble
Bobby Lashley is going to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE championship at the Royal Rumble pay per view event. E had been the WWE champion before Lesnar nearly four months but it dropped the title to Lesnar at the Day 1 pay per view event.
Big E had been quite a dominant WWE Champion since winning the Championship at September last year. WWE had really high hopes for him but he could not be as impactful as champion as WWE think he would be. Although he did his best as the champion.
The way he was dethroned, it does not feel like he is going to get the World Championship very soon. He recently talked about whom he would like to face at WrestleMania 38 after he wins the Royal Rumble match. Did the very fat chance of him winning the Rumble match, but he is maintaining the kayfabe pretty well by giving search interviews.
There was a chance of Brock Lesnar winning the Royal Rumble match and it was rumoured earlier as well. But right now it has been reported that the plan of unifying the titles at WrestleMania 38 has been cancelled. So there might be a chance to see a new champion. Who knows, maybe it turns out to be E.
Big E who is also a former two times WWE United States champion and a former eight times WWE Tag Team Champion recently spoke to the WWE Die Woche program where he discussed which Championship he would go after if he gets to win the Royal Rumble match this Saturday. He said;
“Being a two-time WWE Champion really cements you and puts you in that rarified air. Just being WWE Champion alone puts you in a different category. I was actually looking…I was sitting on my couch yesterday and where I keep my bags, before I need to pack them, which is right across the living room and not far away. I realized, I kind of miss not having that title in my house. Just randomly being able to pick it up and knowing that it was there. I would love to get back to that and the opportunity to beat Brock.
“But in the same vein, Roman is on such an absolutely incredible all-time great run and whoever it is that dethrones this man is going to be remembered for a while. That’s going to be a trivia question for decades to come, ‘who was the one to end this 500 day-plus incredible Roman Reigns runs?’ Doing that would be pretty special too. Both would be incredible.”
