here come the planes
for the people who've forgotten, here's how wikipedia summarizes big e's reign

quote:

On September 13, 2021, Big E declared on Twitter that he would be cashing in his Money in the Bank contract for a WWE Championship match on that night's episode of Raw, which already had a WWE Championship match scheduled between champion Bobby Lashley and challenger Randy Orton.[120] Once Lashley defeated Orton in a 13-minute match, Big E duly cashed in for an immediate title match and pinned Lashley, winning the WWE Championship for the first time in his career, and celebrating with the rest of the New Day.[121] On the September 20 Raw, Big E lost two matches, first in a trios match pitting New Day against Roman Reigns (the Universal Champion) and the Usos, then the second in a triple threat match against Reigns and Lashley.[122] On the September 27 Raw, Big E defeated Lashley in a cage match for the WWE Championship.[123]

During the first night of the 2021 WWE Draft on the October 1 episode of SmackDown, Big E was officially drafted to Raw, while Kingston and Woods were drafted to SmackDown.[124] The new rosters were set to officially go into effect on October 22, the night after Crown Jewel,[125] where Big E successfully defended the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre.[126] At Survivor Series, Big E faced WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a non-title match, where he suffered a clean loss to Reigns.[127] On the November 22 episode of Raw, Big E had a successful title defense against Austin Theory.[128]

Big E was originally scheduled to defend his WWE Championship at the WWE Day 1 event against Seth Rollins. On the November 29 Raw, Big E lost to Kevin Owens in a non-title match via disqualification after Rollins interfered, so Owens was added to Big E's Day One title match.[129] On the December 13 Raw, Big E was pinned by Bobby Lashley in a non-title no disqualification match after Rollins, Owens and MVP interfered, so Lashley was added to Big E's title match.[130] Hours before Day 1, due to WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns contracting COVID-19, Reigns' scheduled opponent Brock Lesnar was also added to Big E's title match.[131] In the fatal five-way match on January 1, 2022, Big E lost his title when he was cleanly pinned by Lesnar, ending Big E's reign at 110 days.[132][133] On the January 3 Raw, Big E wrestled Lashley, Owens and Rollins for a WWE Championship shot against Lesnar, but Lashley won.[134] One week later on Raw, Big E challenged Rollins to an immediate match and suffered a clean loss.[135]

In an interview published in March 2022, Ewen gave his views on his WWE Championship reign, stating that if it were up to him, he would choose a "longer" reign so that he could "do some more dynamic things". Ewen further stated that it was "difficult [for people] to really latch onto a new champion" when "within their first month, [the champion has] multiple losses on TV".[136][137] Ewen then compared his world title reign and how it ended to Kofi Kingston's, suggesting that both of them had a "falling off of a cliff feeling at the hands of one Brock Lesnar and then suddenly, it feels like you woke up a year prior and you're back to doing what you were doing before."[137]

i was just gonna post the 'big e won the belt and then immediately lost twice on the following raw' but i forgot about that last quote

These same people were saying stuff like Big E's 2021 "was one of the greatest individual years in pro wrestling history," and that being nerfed to Brock at Day 1 was the start of a huge comeback storyline where he'd "go for the gold," so it's striking to see them admit that yeah actually that reign sucked.

quote:

At Survivor Series, Big E faced WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a non-title match, where he suffered a clean loss to Reigns.

Clean as a whistle, no Uso run-ins, off one finishing move! I don't think Roman beat anyone else that easily. 'Cept Goldberg I guess

The video for that is so great because the mics picked up people in the crowd just constantly dunking on CYN and someone yelling "THIS IS STUPID".
