10 Candidates For WWE’s Next Bizarre Push

8. Big E

Let us immediately state that pushing this Big E is not a bizarre idea. Not at all. This Big E, the Big E of the New Day stable, eats pancakes and cereal and sh*ts charisma. He boasts a great look, is a great talker, delivers great wrestling matches, and is that rare modern WWE babyface both shamelessly goofy and hugely affable. He is in many if not all respects the perfect modern day WWE superstar.

In the cynical spirit of this article you probably shouldn't take too seriously but could also come true, singles star Big E will probably resemble this Big E, only micromanaged and thus magnified beyond recognition. Same bright colour palette, same over ring introduction, same repertoire, only with curiously lame verbiage and bereft of the brilliant chemistry shared with his former stablemates. Think Roman Reigns circum 2014. It's not bizarre, but it's certainly insane, in that WWE tends to cannibalise Cena's living corpse all the livelong day. That, or a po-faced "This goofy stuff ain't gonna get me to the top!" super-serious heel run awaits. Think Big Cass circum 2017.

There are only two ways these things go, in the main.
