Big E was on a role as a singles star for the past few months on Friday Night Smackdown. However, Big E doesn’t intend to be a singles star forever.
On this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, Bobby Lashley defended his WWE Championship against Randy Orton in the main event of the show, which was the company’s way of increasing their ratings.
After Lashley was successful in retaining his title, Big E took a page from Edge’s playbook and cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase at the opportune time. He went on to defeat Lashley for the WWE Championship.
Fans and pro wrestlers alike celebrated his huge title win, including even WWE. It seems someone who is very familiar with Big E was also elated with his win.
WWE Hall Of Famer and current AEW star Mark Henry took to Twitter and congratulated Big E on his monumental victory, stating that his WWE Championship win was well deserved.
Congratulations Big E Langston!!! Well deserved. @BustedOpenRadio @OfficialPWI
Big E also added that he was glad it took so long for him to become the WWE Champion. Now it remains to be seen how he will fare as the champion for the time being.
