10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About The New Day

7. The Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn Incident

This one - referring to an incident that happened just a couple of weeks ago, during the company's European tour - is still pretty fresh in the memory, but if WWE have their way, we won't be hanging onto it for very long.

In case you're unfamiliar with the murky details of backstage wrestling drama (in which case you really need to get your priorities in order) what essentially happened is that heel duo Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn went off script during a UK edition of SmackDown Live.

Instead of "feeding" The New Day - "feeding", so we've learned, really just means making them look good - the former ROH stars decided to leave the ring and run off backstage, leaving their opponents standing there looking a bit confused in the ring.

It didn't make for a very clean end to the segment, and worse still it became a major news story over the days that followed after it emerged that KO and Zayn had been sent back to Donald Trump's United States by way of punishment.

Kofi, Big E and Xavier were obviously 100% blameless in all of this, but their names are now forever associated with it, like Neville Chamberlain and the Second World War (sort of).
