Big E Reflects On His Rise, The Shield’s Anniversary, Scarlett’s First Post-WWE Match | Fight Size
Here’s your fight size update for Thursday, November 18, 2021:
– Speaking to New York Post, WWE Champion Big E commented on working with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in FCW
It’s nice to look back at those humble beginnings. Man, I was making $500 a week. Seth came in with this pedigree of doing incredible things in Ring of Honor and Roman clearly came from a great wrestling family. And even though he was greener when he got to FCW, he picked things up so well. He had a certain presence, charm. Right away you could tell he was destined for great things. And for me a lot of times I was the guy who I felt like I was growing and getting better, but sometimes I might be in the dark match, a six-man tag with a bunch of other guys who were going to be released in a couple months. Oftentimes I questioned where my place in this company would be.
That’s satisfying to do it my way. I think sometimes we want things right away and maybe it would have been good for me to be a world champion seven, eight years ago. But then in the same vein maybe we don’t get New Day and the incredible run we had as a faction. Even though my journey was a little bit different than theirs, I’m still thankful for it.
– Today is the 9 year anniversary of the formation of The Shield and Seth Rollins and Renee Paquette have both reacted on social media.

– Drew McIntyre recently spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling about waiting to wrestle Roman Reigns for the Universal Title.
“I’m excited not for if, but when, that match is going to come. It seems like everyone on the roster, along with all the fans were like, ‘Well obviously this is the match that’s just going to happen.’ And I’m the first one to say, ‘Alright, let’s take a step back.'”
“Roman’s been on a winning streak and a character shift that wrestling might have never seen before. He’s got all of the momentum in the world right now. And I can be honest and say, I don’t. So for me to jump right into that match, I don’t want to do it right now. I’m a very patient man. I’ve been around the game for over 20 years. Just like I did on RAW, I’m happy to start with some of my open challenges and start proving myself against everybody. I’ll start from the bottom. I’ll go through every single superstar I have to go through. I’ll be a survivor on team Survivor Series. I’ll do whatever it takes… to remind everybody how good I am.”
