Big E: Anytime People Come Together And They’re Friendly For A Bit in WWE, I’m Just Counting Down The Days Where It Eventually Implodes

Big E comments on Nikki Bella’s heel turn on the November 10th edition of WWE RAW.

On the November 10th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, Nikki Bella would make the save for Stephanie Vaquer after her WWE Women’s World Title defense against Raquel Rodriguez, before Nikki would lay out the champion and turn heel in the process.

While speaking on the RAW Recap podcast, Big E was asked about Nikki Bella’s heel turn.

“Look, it’s dastardly, it’s low, but I love this for Nikki, I do. Her giving her flowers to this current generation, it’s beautiful to see. But I don’t wanna see a Nikki Bella who is just bigging up the younger folks and saying, ‘you’re doing a great job and I’m here to be your friend’, I’m here to see a Nikki Bella who is going after world titles. I want to see a Nikki Bella who is ruthless. That’s the Nikki that we came to know and love. That’s the Nikki from a decade ago that was on top, was someone who was going to do whatever it took to be at the top of the industry. So this version of her, I’m excited to see. I thought there was a chance once we saw this pairing. That’s the problem with friendships in WWE. Anytime people come together and they’re friendly for a bit, I’m just counting down the days where it eventually implodes. Now look, it took 10 years for our friendships to implode in the New Day, but eventually it happens, and I think this is a great trajectory for Nikki. I’m excited to see kind of what unfolds for her. A more ruthless, a more focused, a more, ‘hey, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get that title’ version of Nikki.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Big E spoke about who he would like to see round out the field of the Women’s WarGames match. You can read more about that here.
