I always tell this story because I never wanna forget. I will always remember the three of us just fighting to get on TV." He then recalled how the three men had grown as performers and as a person together. He also stated that the victory felt "earned." "We have been able to do so many cool incredible things.

Big E s title reign came to an end at Day 1

Brock Lesnar after the Day 1 event The former tag team champion held on to the WWE Championship for approximately 110 days. He lost the title at Day 1 (2022) in a Fatal Five-way match to Brock Lesnar. E took a moment to reflect on his championship loss during an interview on the Superstar Crossover with Josh Martinez, as he felt he could've had a longer title reign and could have done more. He stated that he would do several things differently. "There are several things I would do differently. My focus really is just on performing, I do the best I can. I wish it would have lasted longer and we would have had that period to produce more dynamic things. It's difficult to latch on to a new champion when, within the first month, they have multiple losses on TV. We can go down this path." Big E is currently out of action after suffering a broken neck due to a botched Belly-to-Belly Suplex attempt by Ridge Holland on WWE SmackDown in March of this year. Thankfully, he did not require surgery for the injury. However, it remains to be seen when the beloved superstar will be able to grace our TV screens once again.
