10 New Directions For WWE After Day 1

7. Big E Back In Tags?

...chiefly because Big E is no longer WWE Champion.

Now, granted, it sucks that E seemingly only lost the strap because Roman Reigns tested positive for COVID. That left Brock Lesnar hanging around like the proverbial spare pr*ck at the wedding, and meant WWE decided to give him a title anyway at Day 1. Big E was the biggest loser in that last-minute change of plans.

It'd be so typical of this company if E went from WWE Champion to being right back beside his New Day buddies in the tag-team ranks as if nothing happened. Being honest, it's hard to see E getting a rematch opposite Brock on pay-per-view - it'll happen on Raw, if it even happens at all.

WWE could pivot then and install E as Kofi Kingston's partner whilst 'King' Woods tries the singles thing on for size. Again, they absolutely won't give a toss about the fact that New Day exist on different brands. They never have!
