Big E. On Which Title He Might Chase If He Wins Royal Rumble

Big E. was recently asked which championship he’ll be chasing if he wins the Royal Rumble, and he hedged his bet a bit. The former WWE Champion spoke with WWE Die Woche and was asked whether he would choose to challenge for Brock Lesnar’s WWE Championship or Roman Reigns’ WWE Universal Championship.

E. didn’t give a firm answer, saying (per Fightful), “Being a two-time WWE Champion really cements you and puts you in that rarified air. Just being WWE Champion alone puts you in a different category. I was actually looking…I was sitting on my couch yesterday and where I keep my bags, before I need to pack them, which is right across the living room and not far away. I realized, I kind of miss not having that title in my house. Just randomly being able to pick it up and knowing that it was there.”

He continued, “I would love to get back to that and the opportunity to beat Brock, but in the same vein, Roman is on such an absolutely incredible all-time great run and whoever it is that dethrones this man is going to be remembered for a while. That’s going to be a trivia question for decades to come, ‘who was the one to end this 500 day-plus incredible Roman Reigns runs?’ Doing that would be pretty special too. Both would be incredible.”

The WWE Championship and Universal Championships will become clearer after the Royal Rumble, where Lesnar will defend the former against Bobby Lashley while Reigns faces Seth Rollins with the latter on the line.
