Big E. was almost a member of the original faction known as The Shield in WWE.
That’s right.
The WWE Intercontinental Champion and former member of The New Day made the revelation during an interview for his new “WWE 24” documentary special that recently touched down on the WWE Network.
Featured below is an excerpt from the aforementioned interview from the new WWE Network Original Documentary film.
“My first feeling of getting called up was 2012. I was doing loops. Any collective period of days is a loop. It’s Roman [Reigns], Seth [Rollins], Dean [Ambrose], and me. There was some thought of bringing all four of us in together as a group. Obviously, that changes, they go on to international fame as The Shield. I was told, ‘You’re going to be with Dolph and AJ, on your very first night, you’re going to attack John Cena.’ I’m thinking, ‘Man, this is it.”
