Big E sat down with the crew of My Mom's Basement and talked about being called up to WWE's main roster, as well as his work as a part of the New Day group and his desire to have a singles run. He also discussed the idea of breaking away from New Day to go out on his own.

It took Kofi Kingston 11 years to win the WWE Championship. He did so to great fanfare and proved the group could do things as singles competitors even though they are arguably the best tag team in the history of WWE. Now, another member of the group, Big E, wants his shot.

Big E said on My Mom's Basement, "I'd love to do more singles stuff, especially the last couple of years." He noted that he understands when fans say the group has gotten stale and a little boring and said  "There are times where I feel like we could use a change too."

He noted that he's not in charge of what happens to the group and he doesn't write the storylines so he has no idea what the future of New Day is, but he doesn't think he needs to break away from the team to have singles success. "There's a lot more I can do in my career and we can still stay together as a faction," he noted.

Big E Has Been Waiting A Long Time For His Shot

Big E noted that all the way back to his run as Intercontinental Champion, he got the feeling he was destined for more. It was CM Punk who planted the seed saying Punk pretty much saved his career by putting in a good word. He then got feedback from WWE, "'You can be World Champion,' and I believe that as well. And I'm prepared for it."

He adds that, "I've never felt like I need to turn on Kofi and Woods and leave New Day behind to accomplish that goal," but there have been teases about the SmackDown hacker targeting a SmackDown team. And, with Xavier Woods on the shelf with an injury, perhaps this is the opportunity Big E was waiting for.

The only question becomes, 'What does that mean for the Feel the Power podcast?
