Big E has been having a year to remember. Winning the Intercontinental Championship on Christmas Day, the New Day member has thrived on his own. However, there was a time when he wasn’t sure if he was going to have staying power in the WWE.
Big E talked about his career on Grit and Glory, where he revealed that The New Day he considered for a bit his last chance in the WWE.
“Well, for anyone who ended up watching during our early years, you know it was not easy at all. It was a rough start, for sure. We realized from an early period and our time together that we had a special chemistry and a special bond. A lot of that bond was forged through the tough times. We had that mentality of we either gotta sink or swim on our own merits. I viewed it as this could be my last opportunity, so I gotta give it my all.”
“I didn’t want my career to dissolve based on me passively accepting anything I was given if it didn’t feel right. So I knew this was it. I knew this was something special.”
The group all seemed to be struggling until they came together. It’s turned into big things for the trio as they’ve all found their place as a group and a lot of success. You can watch the interview below.
