Former WWE creative writer Freddie Prinze Jr. recently spoke on his podcast, “Wrestling with Freddie,” about a variety of professional wrestling topics including The New Day turning on Big E.
Prinze Jr. said, “We got a heel New Day, which is cool, but the segment was so genuinely disappointing — not in a bad way. I mean this as a compliment because of the way they treated Big E.”
On Big E’s vulnerability:
“It was the best acting that Big E has ever put out there. To see a big, huge guy like that be vulnerable — it just hurts. … To show that you’ve been wounded by the people you love takes a lot of courage and a lot of guys, and I respected his work a lot in this segment.”
