Corey Graves has shared which WWE Superstar he believes deserves a significant push within the company. Talking on the WWE podcast he hosts, After The Bell, Graves spoke highly of New Day member Big E, stating that the Superstar is primed for a breakout singles run.
“This should be the opportunity for Big E’s big, singles breakout performance,” Graves said. “Now, I’m not saying to break up The New Day. They’ve gone on the record a million times and said, ‘Nope, they want to stay a unit forever’, and I don’t want to be the one to argue. But people forget that Big E was a former NXT Champion, Big E was a former [Intercontinental Champion] very shortly into his WWE career and that was when he was still figuring things out.”
Graves believes that after a lengthy career on the main roster, Big E now has the “seasoning” he needs to be working main events. He also believes working alongside Kofi Kingston has done wonders for Big E’s development. .
“Big E has future WWE or Universal Champion written all over him,” he said. “As entertaining as all three of The New Day members are in front of the camera, we haven’t even scratched the tip of the iceberg of what Big E is capable of as a performer.”
New Day members Big E and former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston are the reigning WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions. They are scheduled to compete in a Tag Team Championship triple threat match at Survivor Series. They face off against RAW’s Viking Raiders and NXT’s Undisputed Era members Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly.Â
WWE Survivor Series takes place this Sunday night from Chicago, IL.
