Dolph Ziggler is full of praise for how far Big E has come in WWE.
Big E started as Ziggler's muscle and enforcer on the WWE main roster back in 2011 and was by The Show-Off's side when he cashed in Money In The Bank to become World Heavyweight Champion. Just under ten years later, Big E did the same, and now holds the WWE Title.
The two former partners collided recently at WWE Tribute To The Troops, and Ziggler knew that Big E would go far in WWE.
Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Ziggler said: "Do you know how hard it is to be World Champion in this business? It's hard to do even for the best of the best.
"So when I first saw him, I went like 'This guy looks like he's in the zone.' I had seen him work out. I knew he was breaking records, lifting weights. So he's going to stand here and watch my back and he gets to learn from one of the best going and hopefully he applies that and he becomes great down the line.
"He was great from the moment he stepped in as a hard working kid and now as the flagship guy of his brand."
