Cue the celebration, Big E is the new WWE Champion.
Big E made it clear that on the night of Sept. 13, 2021, he would make his way to Monday Night Raw to cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase. That’s exactly what he did.
E cashed in following the WWE Title match between now-former champion Bobby Lashley and Randy Orton. Lashley ended up winning the match after hitting a second Spear. After the match, Lashley attacked Riddle and sent Orton through a table. Lashley’s crucial mistake was that he hurt his knee after the match.
E saw his opportunity to strike and he took it. It wasn’t easy, however, as E had to kick out of a Spear. Eventually, he nailed Lashley with the Big Ending for the three-count to become the new WWE Champion.
Many WWE superstars and announcers took to Twitter to react to Big E’s crowning achievement.
“The best. Congratulations Big E.”
“Biiiiiiiig Eeeeeee!!!!!!!”
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! REAL HAPPINESS!!!! Big E, You are incredible.”
