Heat on Big E For His Comment About Charlotte Flair on RAW
There was unhappiness backstage at Raw with Big E’s comment about Charlotte Flair.

During a promo on the show, The New Day were heading to the ring talking about losing the Raw Tag Team Championship to Cesaro and Sheamus at Roadblock when Kofi Kingston said, “Ric Flair couldn’t have become a 16-time champion without losing the title 15 times.” Big E promptly responded with an off-hand, unscripted remark.

“And that’ll be Charlotte in a month,” he said, referring to Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks trading the Raw Women’s Championship numerous times since the summer.

WWE posted video of The New Day’s promo but edited out Big E’s comment about Charlotte. As you can see, the video completely skips over it.



Big E caught heat for his remark. The line was improvised on his behalf and did not go over well with some people backstage.

I'm just glad someone had the nerve to say what I've been thinking about this bullshit Charlotte booking.

I seriously doubt Charlotte even cared. I'm sure she's seen that same joke on her social media accounts.

So is the whole world, it's sad.

If this is true then it's a sad state of affairs in all honesty.

That was the best part of the promo.

Between that and the Renee comment from Miz, this week has been great with worked shoots.

Cause it's fucking true lmao. Big E is just as pissed as we are.

I doubt he's actually angry.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I doubt he's actually angry.

He's definitely not angry, but he does see it's absurdity.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I just think he was just smart enough to play off the internet reaction.

That, too, but even the Superstars think it's silly to trade the title back and forth 7 times in 8 months.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Or they think that the feud is so even, you don't know who's gonna win.

 

[Cwalker]

New Day plays off the marks on the Internet...

Simple as that

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Big E wouldn't make a joke if he didn't on some level believe in it. That's what makes it a shoot.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I didn't know you knew Big E that well. The New Day make jokes about everything they can think of, usin' the internet reaction is easy.
