Many WWE Superstars play some distinct characters that stick with them for decades. Big E is a superstar who has managed to fine-tune his character and managed to perfect it as part of The New Day.

Big E is not new to WWE, yet he is still looking for his first world title in the company. Before starting his WWE career, Big E was a collegiate football player at the University of Iowa. However, what many fans don’t know is that Big E was a powerlifter and a USA Powerlifting champion.

He took part in the USA Powerlifting meet in 2010 and broke all four raw powerlifting records in the state of Florida in his weight category.
