WWE NXT: 10 Best Non-Indy Wrestlers

5. Big E

Formerly known as Big E Langston, he was NXT's original undefeated big man.

Debuting strong with a string of victories, Big E would demand that the referee count to 5 instead of 3, an old school trick borrowed from King Kong Bundy. Fans loved it and would gleefully chant out "Five" as Big E made his way to the ring.

Soon he became the second ever NXT Champion after defeating Seth Rollins. In fact, with that victory he was the first wrestler in WWE to cleanly defeat a member of the Shield. That fact never got pushed like it should have been.

On the main roster, Big E has had his ups and downs for sure. In his first Raw appearance he took out none other than John Cena, and made his proper in ring debut at WrestleMania 29 in New Jersey. From there he has played a generic enforcer for Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee, had a brief solo face run, rubbing shoulders with Cena, Randy Orton and Sheamus and of course is now one third of the most entertaining act in WWE: The New Day. 

This guys best days are ahead of him.

As a wrestling fan I've flown across the Atlantic for the last five years specifically to attend WrestleMania (28 and 30) as well as TNA, ROH, Evolve, Chikara and most recently PWG. I may have a problem! But if you're reading my work then you probably love wrestling too, so lets focus on that!
