When The New Day first debuted as a heroic gospel trio in 2014, few could ever have seen their overwhelming popularity as one of the most over groups in WWE history on the horizon.

Yet, here we are in 2019 and the trio can claim to own the record for the longest WWE Tag title reign in history and have held tag titles on seven different occasions in the company.

That only tells half the story, though.

Dominant as they've been inside the ring, it's their unprecedented success out of it which has made them they key players they are in WWE today.

Their creativity in exuding their excitable characters on the WWE stage led to numerous occasions where a riff became a marketable product. For example, a rogue unicorn made its way onto one of the group's new t-shirts, which then led to the team wearing unicorn horns and those horns then being pawned off to adoring fans at a price.

Another hilarious example of a spit-ball turned blatant money-maker was the inception of New Day's Booty-O's cereal as a way of incorporating their newest catchphrase into a sellable item.

It worked, and the group's entrance at WrestleMania 32 cemented the cereal's popularity with fans and the cereal even span-off into a t-shirt, too.

They're a three-man marketing dream and WWE are not ashamed to exploit whatever drop of genius spills out of their mouths next.
