Ettore Ewen
Biography
Ettore Ewen, known professionally under the ring name Big E, is an American broadcaster, retired professional wrestler and former powerlifter. He is signed to WWE, where he primarily appears as a panelist and analysist as well as a media spokesperson for the company. He is best known for performing in the company as an in-ring competitor from 2009 to 2022, as well as being a member of the New Day stable alongside Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, with whom he became a six-time Smackdown Tag Team Champion and two-time Raw Tag Team Champion. After suffering a cervical fracture during a match in March 2022, Ewen moved away from in-ring competition and ultimately announced his retirement in 2025.
Ewen was a collegiate football player at the University of Iowa and later became a powerlifter and a USA Powerlifting champion. He also won a state championship in high-school wrestling. Upon signing with WWE in 2009, Ewen was assigned to its developmental brand Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) under the ring name Big E Langston. After FCW was rebranded to NXT, he became the second-ever NXT Champion. He was promoted to WWE's main roster in December 2012, had his name shortened to simply Big E, and joined the New Day in 2014. As a part of The New Day, he holds the tandem record for the longest Raw Tag Team Championship reign at 483 days.
In 2020, Ewen resumed his singles career and was eventually separated from his New Day teammates in the 2020 WWE Draft. He won the men's Money in the Bank ladder match in 2021, before successfully cashing it in later that year to win the WWE Championship, becoming the 33rd Triple Crown Champion in the company's history. Additionally, he is a two-time Intercontinental Champion.
