In an update on WWE’s new direction of pushing larger sized wrestlers, the feeling backstage in the company is that the WWE have many average-sized wrestlers and are trying to sign bigger guys that stand out and are attractions and is one of the reasons that The Big Show is challenging Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at WWE Survivor Series, this according to a report from PWInsider.com.
The company are also looking to push Luke Harper and Erick Rowan as big stars, which is why the company have CM Punk and Daniel Bryan in a feud with The Wyatt Family currently. The internal feeling is that while the company are very high on Bray Wyatt, that Harper & Rowan needed to be elevated to that level also.
