WWE Superstar — and current champion — Big E played college football at Iowa.
So, what better way for him to spend the day than at Kinnick Stadium as the Iowa Hawkeyes met the Penn State Nittany Lions in a huge Big Ten clash.
Since FOX Sports had the game and also has SmackDown! Live, it was the perfect promotional opportunity.
Big E delivered … and so did the Hawkeyes, with a 23-20 victory.
He basically nailed it.
