10 Thrown Together WWE Tag Teams That Totally Saved Careers
3. The New Day
When The New Day was spluttering around WWE TV peddling a babyface act that wasn't working, you would have been given the longest odds on them eventually becoming one of WWE's top merchandise sellers. But that is exactly what happened. After a rough start the trio turned heel, and a popularity juggernaut was born. And yet Roman Reigns is still a face.
Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods were all doing a whole lot of nothing before The New Day was born. Kofi was the very definition of 'WWE midcard purgatory', Big E was getting close to being a bust and Xavier Woods was pretty much a total non-entity. Woods has admitted that New Day saved his job, and he isn't lying.
The New Day has been so successful that talk of Kofi Kingston and Big E as potential champions no longer results in confused stares. Xavier Woods is a more than credible in-ring performer thanks to the success of the trio. He has come a long, long way from stealing Brodus Clay's music.
