Big E defeated WWE Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews in a non-tile match on this week’s WWE SmackDown to qualify for the upcoming Men’s Money In the Bank Ladder Match.
In a backstage interview after SmackDown went off the air, Big E explained how he’s preparing for his first-ever Money in the Bank ladder match.
“I’m just trying to get familiar with ladders, don’t mind me,” Big E said while hugging a ladder in the backstage area. “The ladder and I are just becoming one.”
Big E continued, “It took a lot of hard work and I spent a lot of time and effort getting prepared for this. But you know, when you put the work in, when you get to the actual game, it’s gotta be a breeze.
