The New Day is, by at least some metrics, the most successful team in WWE history. Unfortunately, they've suffered a precipitous decline in prestige since losing the titles they held for 483 days. Perhaps participating in this tournament could shock the former champs out of their doldrums and bring back the New Day of the, uh, old days.

How They'd Fare: Not as well as you might expect. The New Day had their moment, and that moment lasted like a year and a half. They're perfectly positioned to put over a less established trio, and therefore: New Day handily win their first round match, but suffer a relatively shocking upset in the quarterfinals.
