5 WWE Superstars who nearly joined major stables

#1 Big E - The Shield

The New Day star was reportedly considered as a Shield member.

One-third of the New Day, Big E has entertained fans alongside Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, with a mixture of in-ring offence, laughable one-liners, and A LOT of gyrating. But before all of that, the former Tag Team Champion was reportedly considered to be part of the Shield, according to Seth Rollins, and would’ve worked alongside the Architect, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns as a quartet.

According to another report though, the group was always meant to be a trio, with Kassius Ohno replacing the Big Dog. Whatever the truth may be, Big E never made it to the group, probably for the best, as after years of entertaining millions of fans with the power of positivity, fans can’t imagine what the powerlifter would have been like if he’d traded in his unicorn horn for a tactical vest.
