Daniel Bryan's role in breaking up The New Day in WWE
WWE finally broke up The New Day in the recent WWE Draft after the trio had worked together for years. Big E was left on SmackDown, while Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were drafted to Monday Night RAW.
Big E is now set to get a singles push on the blue brand, but it looks like the decision was made by someone new in the creative team. The former Intercontinental Champion has revealed that Daniel Bryan is the one behind the decision. Talking on Gorilla Position, Big E said:
"The nice part too is I feel like I have a voice with the SmackDown creative team. We're able to go back and forth with some ideas and they're actually listening. Also, I have to give credit to Daniel Bryan because the run, the idea for the solo run was from him, like Bryan is the reason.
"He's not just like 'Hey, Big E...' but he's actually a part of the process. He's the one who said 'Hey, this is what we should with Big E' so he's been behind that and for that I'm really grateful but it feels like an environment where I do have a voice.
"I'm not saying that I get to do everything I want to by any means and I also think...I think RAW has a great roster as well, but I love our roster. I look around and I see a lot of talent and a lot of new...especially with this draft. I feel like we got better with the draft when I look around at the roster and just the opportunity to have some fresh match-ups."
Big E is expected to continue receiving his push and was recently involved in a feud with Sheamus on SmackDown. It's unknown what the future holds for him blue brand, but many have touted him as a potential opponent for Roman Reigns.
