Big E
Big E was the second NXT Champion, as he defeated Seth Rollins to win the belt in December of 2012. He had a dominant 153-day run as Champion before losing the title to Bo Dallas. Big E had already made his main roster debut as the NXT Champion, where he was paired with Dolph Ziggler.
After a run with the Intercontinental Championship, Big E formed “The New Day” alongside Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. They had a ton of success as they were among the most popular acts on the roster, but it hindered Big E’s singles success. Big E would finally capture the WWE Championship in 2021, when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Bobby Lashley. He had a strong 110-day reign as champion, but unfortunately suffered a brutal injury, which has kept him out of action since then.
