During the interview, Big E talked about performing on Martin Luther King Day and the "Black Excellence" tweet that they sent out last month, which featured a now infamous photo.
I features The New Day with their tag titles, along with then-RAW Women's Champion Sasha Banks with her belt, and WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann with his title strap.
"The fact that we have talented performers of color is something that is very big for us," Big E said. "This day means a lot to all of us, not just the in-ring performers, but all people of color who are excelling. That's something that we all want to embrace and to celebrate."
The New Day set the record for longest tag team championship reign, beating Demolition's old record of 482 days that had stood for almost three decades.
