The WWE Is Ruining... Big E

As a pro wrestling fan, it is a part of our identity to always know how to utilize wrestlers better than the WWE. If WWE would just give me, random WWE fan, a job a the company, ratings would immediately rise to the levels of the Monday Night Wars, despite how television ratings have changed as a whole over the last 20 years. But until that happens, WWE will continue ruining our favorite wrestlers, and that is why it is time to point out the error in their ways. Because of WWE's incompetence, I am literally going to pick a wrestler at random and point out how they could be better utilized, because WWE is ruining everyone in one way or another.

Today, we look at someone near and dear to my heart, the only former Iowa Hawkeye in the WWE, Big E Langston.

Big E made a big name for himself in NXT before winning the NXT Title by bringing back an old favorite from King Kong Bundy and demanding five counts when pinning his overmatched opponents. Him chanting "FIVE" was incredibly over, so when he got called up to the main roster, it was immediately dropped.

It still started off fairly well as he was the muscle behind Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee. But once they broke up, his momentum faded and he was kind of stuck in no man's land.

Then came The New Day. People kind of forget how hated The New Day was at first, but even though the gimmick of positivity being shoved down your throat can be grating, these guys portrayed the gimmick so hard that nobody could deny how much fun it was. The gimmick has basically been the same for over four years, and they have managed to still keep things fresh with pure creativity. It would seem like the WWE could not manage to better utilize Big E than in his role with The New Day.

But I think he can do more. Now I do think that he should keep his affiliation with The New Day. Honestly, I think the WWE could learn something from New Japan by having guys have friends even if they are not constantly tagging with them as opposed to randomly pairing up tag teams as they drag out feuds, they could have tag team partners that actually make sense. So keep Big E with New Day, but let him finally have a singles run.

Big E has the size, charisma, and in-ring ability to be at the top of the company. The guy can go, and him having singles matches with the likes of AJ Styles, Andrade, or Daniel Bryan is a pretty damn exciting idea. And honestly, that last option has me incredibly pumped. What better way to combat The New face of negativity (but ultimately 100% CORRECT about the world), Daniel Bryan, taking on the personification of positivity, Big E in a war of ideologies.

I'm not saying he should win the title right away, but that is the sort of feud that gets people looking at Big E differently where down the line he is seen as more than capable of leading a company.

The Iowa Hawkeyes are known for their wrestling prowess. They've had plenty of National Champions, some World Champions, and even some Olympic Champions, but it is time for them to go for the greatest belt of all, the WWE Championship. Big E is the man to bring it home.
