#1. Big E - WWE's next big breakout star after Drew McIntyre?

Even when Drew McIntyre wasn't in WWE, there had been rumors before about how WWE was planning to push Big E as a singles star. But The New Day took off so much that it made no sense to split them up. It worked out better that way since they had a historic 6-year run as a trio before the WWE Draft split them up.

Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were drafted to RAW, while Big E was kept on SmackDown. That was a clear indicator that WWE wanted to push Big E as a singles superstar.

Drew McIntyre is on RAW, while Big E is on SmackDown, and the latter might just have his ascent on the blue brand. It's likely that WWE will keep The New Day apart, and Big E vs. Drew McIntyre would be a high-profile match a few years down the line.

Big E would be a suitable replacement for Drew McIntyre as the face of RAW, but not just yet. He is far from ready for the spot that Drew McIntyre has, but that doesn't mean that he won't be in the future.
