For years, WWE’s Latest Day faction served as onscreen fixtures, presenting goofy and fun characters who appealed to each younger and older audiences. At the identical time, the Latest Day’s members unmistakably snuck some adult humor into their presentation, which Big E recently confirmed during an interview with “Notsam Wrestling.”
“Every week, we were excited to [say], ‘Okay, what latest thing from popular culture can we herald that may pop people?'” he recalled. “The exciting thing for me is, how can I be a little bit bit more lewd every week? What else can I hump this week? But that was the test, is: I’d come up [with], like, how can I push my toe across the road a little bit bit more? ‘Cause nobody was yelling at me.”
Through the height of their WWE run, Latest Day were major merch sellers, and certainly one of the most important items on their line was their Booty-O’s cereal. In the identical interview, Big E admitted that it was at all times a sexual innuendo. “It’s obvious to all of us, but someway we were in a position to get away with it,” he expressed, adding that he even tried to make the cereal itself look more explicit as a substitute of just like the Lucky Charms-esque design Booty-O’s eventually released with.
Big E also revealed that the group once drained to film a “whimsical Saturday morning-style” industrial with their phones backstage, and the attempt featured none aside from young Brodie Lee Jr., who received permission from his mom to participate. “It was the three of us dressed up as mothers. …. We had applied our lipsticks terribly, we wore long moo-moos. … It sort of felt – not, I need to say, creepy – but a little bit off-putting.” Ultimately, Big E claims that Latest Day themselves decided against releasing the skit, admitting that it was too strange even for them
