10 Most Over Wrestlers On WWE SmackDown Right Now
9. Big E
But he should be much higher.
The reaction for Big E's Money In The Bank victory was indicative of how long it's taken WWE to (potentially) strap such a gifted and multi-talented star, but that briefcase has been a blessing and a curse for countless wrestlers before.
Ahead of winning it, E wasn't particularly tied to any one tale, and he's since only really had generic midcard tag team stuff to do in the follow-through. With enough time to assemble a short story before SummerSlam, the company should consider the ramifications of using the golden ticket as an invitation for leaning on their lousy stop-start habits. Despite their on-screen obsession with "building momentum", the wonky and irregular booking patterns result in the polar opposite, and the New Day man knows this as well as anybody.
The cheers hopefully won't subside as he lays in wait for the perfect opportunity, but that's clearing a low bar - E's eventual ascent and the reaction it draws could and should be restorative for the prestige of the stipulation.
