10 Best Crowd Chants & Signs From WWE Battleground 2016
6. New Day, I Choose You!
Back to a contribution that was more visual than verbal—this
one arrived, unsurprisingly, ahead of the New Day’s meeting with Bray Wyatt,
Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman.
Xavier Woods recently revealed that he was indeed a level 21 Pokemon Go trainer with allegiances to the dastardly Team Valor. Actually, he’s now a level 22 after a recent session with, of all people, Goldust.
And clearly, the New Day and Pokemon is a match made in heaven. Moments after another stellar introduction from Big E, the camera panned to an expertly-drawn Pokemon-themed New Day sign, baring the message “New Day, I choose you!”
It’s another example of how universally over the New Day is; the fans will eat up just about anything and everything they do—including poorly-named cereals.
And furthermore, the link with Pokemon isn’t just the WWE trying to jump on a bandwagon. It’s clearly an actual passion for these guys, especially Xavier Woods with his gaming channel, and one that’s perfectly in keeping with their ridiculous, unicorn-horn wearing, hip-gyrating gimmick.
