Big E is one of those names that has been rumoured for years to always be on the cusp of a big push that never materialises, and now, it feels like he might've missed his window. His days of being the 5-count-demanding NXT champion are long past, washed away by years of pancakes and hip gyrations.

On the flip side, Xavier Woods is a solid worker who no doubt could reach Cruiserweight champion-level, but is neither flashy nor muscular enough to catch big title attention in the eyes of Vince. He will forever be the nerd-friendly ambassador, building social media bridges and online fan engagement instead of a resume of blow-away big-money matches.

Tide yourself over with: any of their outstanding bouts versus The Usos last year.
