No. 4 Big E (One-time Intercontinental champion; One-time Tag Team champion)

After spending the first of his WWE career as AJ Lee’s bodyguard, Big E headed into a singles run and had some success.

He captured the Intercontinental championship from Curtis Axel on November 18, 2013, and things seemed to be looking up for Big E.

Then Big E became an afterthought, as each Intercontinental and United States champion were treated for the past few years.

After Big E dropped the Intercontinental strap to Bad News Barrett on May 4, 2014 at Extreme Rules, he started to job to newcomers such as Rusev.

What a turnaround his career has made since the creation of The New Day. Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have done a great job with the gimmick and all three guys have benefited from the new trio.

The New Day captured the tag titles once before, and they don’t seem to be done yet.

I expect another Tag Team title run very soon for Big E and The New Day.
