Big E. talks about performing on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and talks about the “Black Excellence” tweet he posted last month featuring New Day, Sasha Banks and Rich Swann all holding the titles they had at the time.

“The fact that we have talented performers of color is something that is very big for us,” he said. “This day means a lot to all of us, not just the in-ring performers, but all people of color who are excelling. That’s something that we all want to embrace and to celebrate.”
