<p>Big E is an American professional wrestler, former powerlifter, and brief collegiate football player. He is best known for his energetic persona, powerful in-ring style, and as a prominent member of the WWE stable, The New Day.</p>

<h2>Early Life and Education</h2>

<p>Big E was born Ettore Ewen on March 1, 1986, in Tampa, Florida. His parents, Eltore and Margaret Ewen, are of Afro-Caribbean descent. As a student at Wharton High School, Ettore distinguished himself in athletics, excelling particularly in wrestling and football. His impressive performance earned him several honors, including Hillsborough County's Ironman award, which highlights versatile athletes.</p>

<p>Following high school, Ettore attended the University of Iowa, where he played collegiate football as a defensive lineman for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Although his football career did not continue beyond college, it laid the groundwork for his transition into strength-based sports and entertainment.</p>

<h2>Transition to Powerlifting and Wrestling</h2>

<p>After college, Big E briefly pursued powerlifting, a field in which he found considerable success. He won multiple competitions and set national records in the USA Powerlifting Federation in 2010, establishing himself as a top-tier strength athlete. His performance caught the attention of WWE talent scouts, leading to a developmental contract in 2009.</p>

<p>He began his wrestling career in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), which later became WWE’s developmental brand NXT. Competing under the ring name Big E Langston, he quickly made an impact with his strength and charisma. He defeated several top competitors and captured the NXT Championship, securing his place as a rising star in WWE.</p>

<h2>The New Day and WWE Success</h2>

<p>After losing the titles to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudio_Castagnoli">Cesaro</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheamus">Sheamus</a>, The New Day transitioned to the SmackDown brand, engaging in memorable feuds with top teams like The Usos.
