At SummerSlam 2018, Reigns — also known as The Big Dog — crushed his greatest rival Brock Lesnar and won the Universal Title. Rollins — first NXT Champion — also beat Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 and clinched the Universal Championship. He defeated Lesnar once again at SummerSlam 2019 to win the Universal Title for a second time, according to WWE’s website.

In July, before the WWE LIVE: Summerslam Heatwave Tour visited the Show Me Center, the Southeast Missourian talked with Big E — a member of The New Day — about the importance of in-the-ring energy and why he loves entertaining.

“One of the great things is our fans,” he said. “The New Day fans have really done a great job of supporting us. And that energy, man, is so critical through our performance, and it really just buoys you when you have people that invested. That’s always big for us.”
