10 WWE Superstars Without Direction Following WrestleMania & Greatest Royal Rumble
6. The New Day
This time last year, The New Day looked certain to split - that they hadn't during a WrestleMania 'hosting' duty seemed wasteful. The group had seemingly outlived their usefulness as a brand beyond selling merchandise by the cereal-boxload, but re-found form in-ring thanks to a hugely rewarding series with The Usos after their move to SmackDown Live!
All the juice was sadly squeezed from that fruit in record time. The Usos meandered on as Champions following the feud, but Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods were again left out in the cold. Airlifted back in for a WrestleMania triple threat designed solely to elevate the Bludgeon Brothers, the pancake crew have moved back into their broad comedic realms to stay relevant but have become everything previous killer trio The Shield never did by breaking up before sterility set in.
The company have carefully invested in the New Day brand, but haven't left much on the table for any of the three should they have one last try at singles supremacy. Storylines feel beyond further exploitation on both Raw and SmackDown Live! too - there's nobody left for the record-setters to prove themselves against. 'Now or never' is a touch to extreme, but 'not-at-all' isn't exactly a grand finale for their creditable run.
