<p>The New Day’s Big E has been a big supporter of the #SpeakingOut movement and as a guest on <em>The Sports Bubble</em> with Jensen Karp, he talked about the importance of the movement to the future of the wrestling business.</p>



<p>According to Big E, he wasn’t surprised about all of the stories that have been coming out, though he didn’t see a specific example himself.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“There wasn’t anything that I knew of and just my shoulders at. So, there wasn’t anything that I was specifically aware of, but it’s honestly really, really really saddened me to see and disgusted me to see how prevalent this was,” he said.</p></blockquote>



<p>He gave a shout out to a woman he called a friend, someone called Veronica who told a story about David Starr that was one of the earliest triggers for the #SpeakingOut movement.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“She was brave enough to tell her story,” noted Big E. “ She emboldened a lot of women and even men to come out and talk about some of the things that they’ve experience , the way they were victimized in this industry.”</p></blockquote>



<p>Big E further stated that moving forward, issues of sexual assault should no longer be ignored and it was time to change the way the industry treated women.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“We haven&#8217;t given these victims the voice and the respect that they deserve. And I think our industry should no longer and can no longer tolerate what&#8217;s going on,” said Big E.</p></blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“We can no longer shrug our shoulders at the way women have been victimized in this industry,&#8221; he added.</p></blockquote>



<p>He stated that he hopes that the movement will create genuine change and is not just a trend or something that will be eventually forgotten.</p>
