10 Wrestlers Whose Stock Has Risen The Most Since WWE WrestleMania 37

2. Big E

Someone could pen an entire 'Ups & Downs' article about Big E's WWE run since 'Mania 37. His fortunes have been yo-yoing around the place with an alarming sense of erraticism. Back then, he rocked up to Tampa as Intercontinental Champ and had a lame 'Nigerian Drum Fight' vs. Apollo Crews.

Since then, E has reached the mountaintop by becoming WWE Champion and then... been shoved right back down the pecking order and into SmackDown's tag division. Still, at least he got to become World Champ - it's not his fault that WWE's senseless booking completely undermined him ASAP. That was maybe always going to happen.

A WWE Title win = progress.

Christ knows what E will be doing at 'Mania 37. Whatever it is (probs another SmackDown Tag Title win, or something like that), he'll be working it with the same infectious energy that convinced WWE to put the top belt on him in the first place.

That 110-day reign won't be E's last.
