Brian Fritz of Sportingnews.com passed along a new interview with WWE Tag Team Champion Big E. Here are some excerpts from the interview:
On the success of the New Day:
“What’s been really rewarding for us is knowing how hard it has been for us to get this off the ground, we always believed we had the ability to move people the way we have as of late. It’s just a matter of being able to get that window. The last few months, 5-6 months, have been truly rewarding. Obviously, we’re having a blast and I think that shows.”
On finding his groove as a performer and character with New Day:
“We already had Ryback. We had Mark Henry. There are some guys in that powerhouse vein who were serious and I wanted to do something a bit different and be myself. I think I have a strange, off-kilter sense of humor and things I enjoy are a bit different. A lof of stuff I did in our car rides was stuff I wanted to do on TV. The last six months have been a godsend. I feel like I was fighting and fighting and fighting to do some stuff that was untraditional and a little bit more up my alley but it didn’t fit before. I feel like this is the least inhibited I’ve been on TV and I’m very thankful for that.”
