Big E as the WWE Champion
Since becoming champion, Big E has faced various superstars on the red brand to defend his title.
Big E has successfully defended the WWE Championship against former WWE champion Drew McIntyre and faced Austin Theory last week after the latter earned himself the opportunity to face Big E from the Chairman himself, Vince McMahon.
How it started. How it’s going

Considering that this is his first reign as the WWE Champion, Big E has been a fighting champion and has done a splendid job with the title. But now that his next opponent is Rollins, Big E has his work cut out for him.
However, Big E and Rollins are no strangers to each other inside the squared-circle. Both superstars share a history that goes back to their early days in NXT.
Rollins was the inaugural NXT Champion and Big E was the one who dethroned him to become the second NXT Champion. Keeping that in mind, Big E might have an edge over the four-time world champion.
It remains to be seen what will transpire when the time comes for their match on Day 1.
