Big E has been one of the most charismatic superstars WWE has to offer. In 2021, he was separated from his stablemates by the WWE Draft.

After disbanding from New Day, Big E's push skyrocketed to the moon. He managed to win the Intercontinental and WWE Championship consecutively. His singles push came to an end after he lost his WWE Championship at Day 1.

His second reign as a champion was incredibly enjoyed by fans. Winning the title for the third time would elevate his illustrious career even more.

Johnny Knoxville has been feuding with the current Intercontinental Champion Zayn for a couple of months. Knoxville announced his 2022 Royal Rumble entry after putting Zayn off the top rope to qualify for the match.

This led to The Conspiracy Theorist calling out Johnny Jackass multiple times. During the Rumble Match, Johnny was eliminated by Zayn. Fans are speculating that Johnny Knoxville could challenge Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 38.
