7. Will The New Day And Kidd/Cesaro Stay Stuck In Neutral?
The Royal Rumble Kickoff show will feature several very talented and currently under-utilized performers. Tyson Kidd and Cesaro recently have formed a tag team and have been working on some tandem offense, so the hope is that they will actually get some traction. Kofi Kingston and Big E are both very talented and charismatic, but neither has been given a chance recently to grow. Their collaboration with Xavier Woods as the New Day appears to be spinning its wheels lately. So what do you do with two teams that dont seem to have a lot of direction? Put them against each other and hope one emerges with some momentum. Which one will it be? Cesaro and Kidd probably have a bigger upside as they are presented right now. They are a no-nonsense team that can flat-out wrestle they just need to ditch Adam Rose. New Day, by comparison, arent going to amount to much more than they currently are as the smiling, overly positive babyfaces. Perhaps losing a few matches will help bring out the rage that Woods alluded to during their intros on Raw. Thats something to look for: whether these teams emerge with a sense of purpose, or if they were stuck out there to fill some time.
