10 WWE Wrestlers Who Told You They Were Pissed
7. Big E Buries A Terrible Scripted Line
As a potential counterpoint to the previous slide, the New Day after getting over never did seem like sh*t-scared drones worried about their spot. They introduced all manner of irreverent bullsh*t to their act without fear of reprisal.
Perhaps that's why the connected to strongly with the audience at their peak, in what is another stunningly predictable lesson that simply won't be learned.
In 2017, the New Day were set for a Raw match with the Shining Stars. If you don't recall that act, basically, Vince McMahon decided that Primo and Epico were much too boring and had to be repackaged. He somehow arrived at this conclusion after awarding Primo (alongside Carlito and later Epico) with more days as a main roster Tag Team champion than Jeff Hardy, the Revival, and several more actual legendary tag team wrestlers. It's almost as if Vince McMahon doesn't give a single sh*t about tag team wrestling.
"We have to take the shine off the Shining Stars (I didn't write that)," Big E said very rapidly before said match, making it abundantly clear that he didn't endorse the lame wordplay b*llocks he'd been asked to recite.
