Ryan Satin told Big E that fans have wanted to see him face off against Reigns. To this, Big E said, “Yeah. That was a lot of the feedback I got. Especially when he first came back.”

“I think he’s been killing it with his character. This direction. “The Tribal Chief” stuff. Everything that I’ve watched has been on-point.”

Reigns faces Jey Uso at Hell in a Cell. Despite the stipulation and the stakes, the odds are in his favour. Big E has been away from TV since his win against Sheamus. Hence, it is clear WWE don’t have any current plans for him apart from the New Day split.

The draft has brought a lot of interesting potential opponents for Big E. Seth Rollins, Aleister Black and Chad Gable are all good opponents to keep him warm enough till he inevitably faces Roman Reigns.
