* WorthyOpponent: Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre, who came seconds away from ending E's title reign before it really began at ''Crown Jewel 2021''. After a perilously narrow retention, Drew gave him a thumbs up from the ramp, and in a post-match interview Big E had nothing but praise for Drew's abilities.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: At ''Crown Jewel 2021'', E put his WWE Championship on the line against Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre, one of the most valued, protected men in all of wrestling at the time. There, he became of exactly one of four men (the others being Wrestling/BrockLesnar, Wrestling/RomanReigns, and Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}) to kick out of Drew's OneHitKill Claymore Kick, leaving the Scottish Warrior looking like he just witnessed an alien landing.

* DareToBeBadass: At the start of his singles push in 2020, Big E was initially reluctant to make a serious run go of it, as the opportunity only arose as Xavier and Kofi were both injured at the time; it was only when Kofi explicitly told E that he had their blessing that he started to actively pursue the Intercontinental championship.
