I hope Big E turns heel in New Day and become Corporate E.

I have nothing to criticize. They told the story from the beginning of the show and closed it off at the end. What a special moment. Congrats to E.

I would have booked it way differently, but I'm so freaking happy he won it regardless.

Good for him, I do wonder if this was accelerated because of AEWs numbers. If so, It proves exactly why you need competition It MAY have been because of AEW winning the demo last week and Monday Night Football as a sort of one two punch. Especially with how Big E touted it up before the show. But damn if it wasn't the right decision. It was in the cards when Lashley was bullying Kofi and Woods and they delivered where it needed to be delivered. This will have a hard time being topped for WWE's best TV moment of the year imo.

He's been marked as champ for a year and the countdown has been on since he won MITB and Kofi and Xavier got washed by Lashley Oh he was going to do it, but it's more than suspect it happened tonight. They love having people carry around that case endlessly They also skipped the part where the MITB holder gets booked to look like a complete loser for a few months before cashing in.

I need a live reaction to Brodie Jr. and Nolan watching Big E win the belt so badly lol
I have nothing but respect for Big E as a human being. To be in the room when Amanda told Brodie Jr. that his dad wouldn't be coming home takes so much f***ing will. And it shows just how close and important he Cody and 10 are to that family.
This is a moment the whole world of wrestling can and should celebrate. A good guy did everything asked of him and he was f***ing rewarded. Congrats to Big E and I hope your reign is damn good and booking don't f*** it up now or after the belt is off you.

I don't get it. I like E as a performer, even more as a person, but wow is this leaving me cold. No "holy shit they did it" or sigh of relief, just a flat "ok". Kinda where I am. I think them spoiling it on social media killed it for me. I'm glad he's won and all but a lot of the buzz was not there for me.

They ALMOST did it with the Corbin thing but Big E and Owens just kicked his ass and took it back... which transitioned into Happy Corbin and thankfully Big E just kinda sidestepped it.

I may have to double-check against my stats, but this may be the first instance of a MITB holder that didn't cash in with their next match, having a 100% W/L record as the holder.

I’m happy he’s champion and be totally deserves it. It just wish it didn’t have to be because of a cash in. Feels like a cheap way of winning. Even with Punk and Bryan’s first World titles were cash ins and it still felt cheap. Especially for a babyface.

Said it in the live thread, but that may be the most electric moment I've had the privilege of attending in person.
Sitting next to people who clearly didn't know it was gonna happen certainly helped.

The man has done it Congratulations Big E. Still hate the New Day but I congratulated them when Kofi won the big one and now Big E adds his name to that. Sorry Xavier.....

Not a big fan, but first title wins for 'faces' are always heartwarming to watch. Good for the big man. Hope he steps up to the task of carrying the red brand

Such a fan of him holding the belt atast, but I hope they didnt do it just to pop a rating. Having it posted on twitter then him saying it at the start of the show seems like such a desperate attempt to get people to watch.
Again, so happy he won, dude deserves it, just wish circumstances were diffrent.

Believe this is also the first time the WWE title changed hands between Black competitors.
