For a good while now, Big E has been tagged as a guy with all the potential to make it to the main event, but Sunday night, we saw him finally take a major step in that direction.

E won the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, capturing the briefcase that nearly guarantees him a future world title reign. This is a guy who has really worked his butt off to establish himself as a singles star after years of being part of one of the best stables/tag teams in WWE history.

So when Big E climbed the ladder after dropping Seth Rollins with a Big Ending off the same ladder, it really felt like a big moment.

Now, let’s hope WWE follows through on this, because E has all the skills and charisma to be a big star.
