When you reach certain levels of success, it’s important to never lose yourself.
WWE Champion Big E explained as much when speaking with the Independent UK.
“I never want to lose myself to fit a certain mould or to feel like I need to be less nice to be a champion or a locker room leader,” he explains, when asked how he manages to stay on the side of good when it is so easy to fall astray to fame’s temptations.”
Big E would then admit if him changing who he truly is, is what’s required to climb the mountain in WWE, he has no interest in doing-so.
“If that’s what it takes to be successful in this industry, that’s an industry I don’t need to be a part of. It is vitally important to me to be a human being I can be proud of and be the kind of person I want to be. That has been a point of emphasis for me during the pandemic: working on myself and growing. I feel like I have worked through a lot in my life, and I feel more clear about my purpose and direction.”
Big E is currently locked in a feud with former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre which will culminate in a title match at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia, later this month.
