10 WWE Stars Who BURIED The Writers
2. Big E
On the February 26, 2017 Monday Night RAW, the New Day appeared in an in-ring segment. The faction enjoy rare creative license, negotiated after the customary, months-long grinding down of Vince McMahon's will, and they also enjoy a rare push. You wouldn't think they'd be so brazen in their carefree contempt of the process that, eventually, informed their smash success.
Big E did precisely that when confronted that morning (or seconds before he emerged from the curtain) with a line reeking of trademark rancid WWE wordplay.
In another indictment of the process, the line in question wasn't that bad, by WWE standards. It wasn't pooper scooper bad. It wasn't Ken Dostick bad. Big E had to say "We have to take the shine off the Shining Stars."
It was CSI: Miami Sunglasses Meme stuff, likely scripted by the same writer's long-forgotten assistant.
*R-Truth loses the 24/7 Championship*
"Well it looks like Carmella...needs a new dance partner."
*Sami Zayn loses again*
"Well it looks like Sami...should have stayed on vacation."
*Mojo Rawley loses via roll-up to Ricochet*
"Well it looks like Mojo...needs to take a long look in the mirror."
Big E couldn't bear it. He could not risk tumbling into the dork realm, and so, before launching into his catchphrase, he bantered that hack into oblivion with a rapid, quiet "I didn't write that...", thus burying the process on television.
