Big E: People Have Been Clamouring For Chad Gable & Liv Morgan To Do More In WWE
Big E wants to see talent bust through the glass ceiling
Jul 23, 2021
Big E hopes to see SmackDown talents Chad Gable and Liv Morgan get the opportunity to do more in WWE.
Gable and Morgan are both wrestlers on the main roster that many believe are underutilised and Big E was full of praise for them during an appearance on the Getting Over Podcast.
"There are guys that I think are extremely talented. Apollo was like that for a long time where he was very good in the ring and the perception was, 'he's very good, but this is his ceiling.' For a guy like him, he knows he has more to offer. I look at a guy like Chad Gable as well. We haven't seen him scratch the surface," the new Mr. Money In The Bank said.
"I've been in the ring with him and I have been wildly impressed. He's an Olympian, man. That's a wild pedigree. I wrestled in high school and was a state champion, but I'm an ant next to an elephant. There are so many degrees of separation. The way he carries himself, he's a hard worker and a humble dude. He's a guy people have been clamouring for for a long time to see more of. There are guys like that. Our industry is not an easy business to ascend to the top," he continued.
"There are a lot of very talented guys who spend a lot of time in catering or don't get those opportunities that others do. For me, it's hard to say that I'm a leader or a mentor. I don't want to put myself in that position, but I do understand, whether I want to be or not, I have been (in WWE) for quite some time and I do hope I have the respect of my peers. I will go up to guys sometimes and say... I have learned the value of telling people, 'Hey, you're really good at what you do and I'm a fan. Keep doing you.' Too often in my own head I thought, 'No one really cares, I'm not established enough, let me keep it to myself.' Maybe sometimes it falls on deaf ears, but I have no problem, men or women (giving encouragement or advice)," Big E added.
"I look at Liv (Morgan) too. People have been clamouring for her to do more and to ascend. The time she puts in on her off days to continue to get better. For me, I want to see everyone get the opportunities I got to live out their dreams and do something cool. That feeling is incredible and I hope we get more of that talent who is underutilised to bust through that glass ceiling."
Chad Gable is currently a member of Alpha Academy alongside Otis on WWE SmackDown.
Liv Morgan has spent much of her main roster career as a member of the Riott Squad, but she is a singles Superstar once again following Ruby Riott's release. She is currently feuding with Zelina Vega.
