#2 Big E Langston - Curse

Big E Langston (2nd NXT Champion)
Big E Langston (2nd NXT Champion)

Big E Langston was a dominating force on NXT. He would devastate his opponents before pinning them for a "5-count" instead of the usual 3. He was intimidating and the fans loved it.

With Seth Rollins being such a popular champion, it was interesting to see who they would pick to carry the belt next, but the audience supported Big E Langston just as much.

After moving up to the main roster, he spent some time as the Body Guard/Valet to Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee, but never got that singles push he deserved.

After being under-utilized, he joined the New Day and has remained in the Tag Team Comedy scene ever since. It's disappointing to think that though the New Day has brought him a good deal of money and popularity, we might never see him really live up to his full potential as a serious singles competitor.
