10 WWE Attitude Era Stars Who Could Replace Today's Roster
10. D-Lo Brown/Big E
This one is intriguing only because it's entirely possible that Big E is slowly moving into a D-Lo-style role in The New Day after largely failing as a monster big-man heater. Big E is stocky and powerful, but in lacking height and a mean streak, just isn't believable as someone who can rip off heads with any credibility. Big E is six years into his wrestling career. At six years in, D-Lo Brown had already been in the Nation of Domination, was a multiple-time title holder and had learned the art of how to be a convincing mid-card sh*t stirrer of a heel. A guy with that type of experience in The New Day would be awesome, as that trio needs a veteran who knows the job in order to be as effective as they can ideally be. Kofi's great in a tag-team pairing. Xavier Woods is growing as a mouthpiece and manager-in-tights. Subbing out Big E for D-Lo Brown would just make sense.
