Long overdue I always thought Big E was the guy out of the three New Day members that was a can’t miss main eventer. I’m really interested as well to see where this goes from here. Big E v Goldberg in Saudi Arabia? Last I heard Goldberg only has 2 dates a year in his deal and he fulfilled those. They were still heavily hyping up another Lashley v Goldberg match as of a handful of weeks ago, presumably in Saudi Arabia.

I'm delighted for him. Hope he has a great reign. Lashley's one was great too. Send him to Smackdown and have him be the one to dethrone Roman.

I can't imagine they would pivot to Big E vs Goldberg, considering the post-match angle they ran at Summerslam with Lashley attacking Gage Goldberg. Either Lahsley regains the title before then (god I hope not), or Lashley vs. Goldberg at Crown Jewel is a non-title grudge match (the better of the two options for sure).

Happy for the guy.
Always liked Big E, hope he gets a decent reign...The 54th WWE Champion in history.
Also when the time does come for him to drop the belt I really hope we don't get another Kofi Moment.

Lashley murking Sonberg and Goldberg wanting revenge for that is already enough for a match.

Blah.
The New Day are one of the stalest acts in the company.
Would've much rathered Lashley kept the title and faced Brock at Mania.
Can't say this is gonna make me interested in watching Raw if I'm honest.

Congratulations to Big E.
The way WWE follows this up is in question, but for now, I'll be enjoying that moment.

It's a little surprising the number of times on Twitter I've seen people seeming surprised that AEW Wrestlers have been congratulating Big E. And I'm just like, it's almost like they all like and support each other, or something.
It wasn't until this thread that I learned how close Big E is to Brodie's family, so that gives it an extra layer of heartwarming.

Today WWE posted a full video of this week's New Day Podcast episode dedicated to mental health. In the passing of Daffney they decided to dedicate a special episode and what a great one it was. The fact Big E won the title on today of all days, when this episode posted, is amazing. I love it. Big E is world champion man. I thought WWE wouldn't do it here but hey, they did it, yall got me WWE. Thank you for giving it to a great amazing man, someone who's put in that work and an amazing black man. I'm back to watching Raw full time now that Big E's champion. I gotta support. Also, here's the New Day Podcast mental health episode. It's a great watch. I came here to post this one. Listening to what Big E went through in his teens and twenties was wild. Interesting timing with this episode, for sure.

He's beaten Orton, he beat Drew so many times that they had to promise not to do the match anymore, he squashed Keith Lee, he squashed Kofi, during his rise to the WWE title he made a sport out of beating up Hardy and Riddle, even the draft wouldn't alleviate the issue since he feuded with Balor for like six months a couple of years ago and none of the matches were good and everyone else on the show's been crushed into dust by Reigns, what on earth was left for him to do to get all the way to Mania?

Like, most of them were in the business together at some point in time and would likely know people by association in some way. Or, like Faye Jackson, would let their horniness get the better of them and be put on Twitter trial again.

Clearly he needed a 6 month feud with Kevin Owens! Well, more like a 4 month feud but still!

Huuuuge congrats to the man. Been a massive New Day mark for years, so feel great right now. I don't care if this was done 'because of AEW' or 'because MNF was back'. The only thing that matters is that they did it. Now pleeeeease follow it up well, WWE! Even if it were done for those reasons, it is still a recognition that Big E is that dude. IMO, both ideas add to the accomplishment rather than diminishing it.

A reminder that the WWE champion’s favorite wrestler is the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. 😝
In all seriousness, though, massive congrats. He’s deserved for quite a while.
