Big E has always been the incredibly built hard-hitting WWE wrestler wearing the same ring gear right from his debut. Even his finisher 'The Big Ending' remains unchanged. Yet, if you met the big guy when he debuted, you'd think he would be the twin brother of the light-hearted, hilarious New Day wrestler we know and love today.

Big E made his first appearance on WWE's main roster back in December 2012, where he beat down John Cena to align himself with Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee. Big E waited four months before wrestling his first match against Team Hell No in April 2013. He spent his time being Dolph's enforcer, standing on the side and frowning, waiting for someone to irk him so he can pound them down.

There was no goofy smile, twerking hips, or loving teammates around him. He was just a muscular man looking for the next person to hurt. Luckily, The New Day transformed him to the pancake devouring, unicorn promoting individual we know today. And thank god for that!

Imagine the number of laughs that would have been missing from our lives if Big E had been just another muscle-bound competitor with no life behind his eyes.
