Big E captured the WWE Championship on this week’s edition of RAW after he successfully cashed in his Money In The Bank contract on Bobby Lashley following his title defense against Randy Orton in the main event of the show. It is certainly a huge accomplishment for him and he has been blessed with best wishes by the pro-wrestling world.
Big E opens up on mental health
It was a tough job for him given the fact that he had to struggle throughout his career. During WWE The Bump, the newly crowned WWE Champion opened up about his struggles with mental illness. He said that there were dark days, but then he compared that situation to the one he is in now as WWE Champion. Paul Heyman Drops Ronda Rousey Bombshell
“On our podcast, we had a discussion about mental health and we felt it was important to have that conversation, especially after the passing of Daffney. The way things happened on the same day that podcast dropped [I won the WWE Title], and you know I talked too about, you know, I’m someone who struggled with my mental health and depression for a long time and not seeing much value in myself.”
“To go from thinking about the juxtaposition of being 20-years-old and really struggling and trying to find my way in the world and having those struggles with mental health to now where people around the world know who I am, they find value in my work, find joy in what I do, that’s a blessing. I’m just really grateful to have found a purpose and a passion.”
We will see what is next for him going forward having the title around his waist.
Becoming #WWEChampion on the same day as the #NewDayPod episode discussing mental health alongside @TrueKofi & @AustinCreedWins was very sentimental for @WWEBigE.
The New Day wants you to know that you are not alone. ❤️
