Its been a tough 2016 for the New Day. The trio was immediately mocked by veteran wisecracker Chris Jericho and bestowed with a new insult, a sophomoric one that has failed to catch on but still causes them consternation: rooty, tooty, booty. Jericho has been a thorn in their side, presumably engaging in a battle of shtick. Hes booked the Tag Team Champions in multiple matches as well. But the ultimate insult came when Y2J broke Xavier Woods beloved trombone, Francesa. The result was a humorous moment, but one that further pushed New Day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWQLVzRoKlM With rival tag team the Usos already holding the Slammy Award for tag team of the year an award New Day feel they deserve you have to wonder whether the tag champs can calm down and get through Sunday.
