Big E was recently interviewed by NDTV’s Gadget 360. He spoke on a wide variety of topics about wrestling and video games. One of the questions that he was asked was how much creative freedom the New Day has when it comes to their work on WWE television.
Big E says that they have a ‘long leash’ when it comes to the scripts that the receive. Here is what he said:
“We have a long leash for sure. That’s taken time to get trust from the higher-ups and people of importance. But yeah, we don’t write everything. A lot of times we’re given scripts and we disagree with the script’s directions and we have some leniency to retool. A lot of times it’s ‘hey we need an overhaul and none of it works’ and sometimes it’s just a few tweaks here and there.”
He continued:
“We’ve been very fortunate. A lot of talent really don’t have that ability to just say ‘hey I want to rewrite this promo’ but it’s really helped us. And one thing we’ve noticed too is that as much as we – as a company- try to attach ourselves to pop culture, we felt also that a lot times they were a little outdated or a little bit, outside of their window of freshness.”
