Big E Discusses The Early Days Of The New Day

The current WWE Champion Big E recently appeared on Cincy360, where he discussed the beginnings of The New Day: a trio that has become one of the biggest fan favorite groups in WWE history, but a lot of fans didn't have faith in early on.

“We believed in ourselves tremendously, but I can’t say I would have known.”

“Especially considering how difficult things were getting off the ground. I don’t think I could have ever fathomed that Kofi would’ve had that KofiMania incredible run. I don’t think that I could’ve fathomed breaking records that stood for over 20 years in WWE. Becoming tag team champions for 483 days? Uninterrupted? That’s very, very rare and it’s a feat that we couldn’t have predicted.”

Big E recalled the early days of The New Day.

“It really is humbling. That’s one of the things that I always try to do is not forget the start of this journey as a collective, because it was not easy. It was not easy at all.”

“We were looking to get this thing going and hopefully be on TV together for three to six months, and hopefully that would allow us the momentum for us to do whatever it is that we needed to do. Just give us something, and that something has turned into such a beautiful journey.”

“I couldn’t ask for better partners. I feel like when we’re done with our careers, when it’s all said and done, we’re still going to be connected. We’re still going to talk all the time. We’re still going to see each other because it’s a very real bond, a very real brotherhood.”
