The New Day can't last forever, but those expecting the aforementioned match to be a part of the big break up will be disappointed. The trio are too popular with casual fans to split just yet, but the seeds of a split can easily be introduced over the summer. Since losing the RAW Tag Team Championship The New Day have done very little of note, something that must eat away at Woods, Kingston and Big E.

The split should take time, but there is no reason why a good-hearted challenge between members can't take place at The Biggest Party of the Summer. Big E. is going to be a major star for WWE further down the line, with many assuming that it will be he who breaks from The New Day first.

As such, pitting Big E. against the most experienced member of the trio at SummerSlam is a good idea. Xavier Woods could be booked as special guest referee to add a little extra spice to proceedings. As babyfaces The New Day are somewhat tiring for hardcore fans - dissension will keep things fresh a little while longer yet.
