10 Wrestlers Who Lost Their WWE Debut Match
10 wrestlers who lost their WWE debuts
8. Big E
Unlike Daniel Bryan, Big E was booked to look utterly dominant during his run in NXT.
In fairness, E’s NXT was the actual developmental territory, not the show where future prospects were made to look like jokes during absurd weekly challenges.
The former NXT Champion famously revived King Kong Bundy’s ‘five count’ gimmick, ensuring that his fallen foes would be pinned to the mat for an extra two seconds after being hit with the Big Ending.
Debuting on the main roster as the muscular back-up of Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee, Big E’s first official WWE match was booked for WrestleMania 29. And it was a title match as Ziggler and Big E challenged Team Hell No for the WWE Tag Team Championships.
Despite taking place on the Grandest Stage of Them All, it wasn’t exactly a red-hot debut for the future WWE Champion. His team failed to walk away with the gold, too, when Ziggler was pinned following a Chokeslam and flying headbutt.
