10 Wrestlers Who F***ing Doubled Down On Your Hate

10. The New Day

Triumphantly forcing their way into the conversation of greatest tag team in professional wrestling history, it's remarkable to think that there was actually a moment in time when the trio of Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E were pretty much unanimously rejected by the WWE corner of the wrestling fandom.

Thrown together and into the tag team mix whilst sporting a overwhelmingly positive gospel gimmick branded as "racist" by many, even the first few flickers of audience connection eventually soured as The New Day's now-legendary three-clap was typically met with a "New Day Sucks!" response.

And after clearly sensing that the relentless positivity the group were ordered to unleash on the WWE Universe wasn't going down as well as expected, the wise decision to eventually call a heel-turn audible was made and a New Day was truly born.

Gone was the largely uncomfortable gospel schtick, in its place was a borderline insane and consistently entertaining focus on the "Power of Positivity". And sure enough, when finally given the ridiculous freedom to patronise and preach to the fans as oblivious villains instead of jarring heroes, it wasn't too long before the trio's undeniable chemistry nudged them into permanent fan-favourite territory.
