Big E announced early on Monday that he would be hitting Raw later in the evening with every intention of cashing in the Money in the Bank contract on whoever won the Bobby Lashley vs. Randy Orton WWE championship match. He delivered on that too, running in just after the former speared and pinned the latter.
Minutes later, he became the WWE champion for the first time in his career.
Everyone is really, really happy about it.
Like The Man, and her mother:
My Ma also says congrats. https://t.co/GKVw9zQKxW

There are plenty of times it doesn’t feel the best to be a pro wrestling fan but when it feels good, there’s just really nothing like it.
Big E is the WWE champion.
Hell yes.
Update: I lied, we’re closing with this:
