25 Most Iconic WWE Ring Entrances Ever
23. The New Day (WrestleMania 32)
Few acts in modern WWE history have walked the tightrope between childish absurdity and sincere brilliance quite like The New Day, and nowhere was that duality more on display than at WrestleMania 32.
Originally pitched by Xavier Woods as an outlandish spectacle involving the trio emerging from an enormous backside, the booty-based entrance was swiftly redirected by WWE’s top brass. In a rare moment of both restraint and inspired creativity, the market leader opted for something that still ticked every New Day box - playful, merchandisable, and steeped in pop culture while also being palatable to a PG-rated audience: a giant box of "Booty-O"’s cereal.
With company officials visibly tickled behind the curtain (as seen in the WWE 24 documentary covering the event), Big E’s booming intro was the trumpet blast heralding the trio pouring out of cereal packaging as human Dragon Ball Z freebies.
It was a perfect pitch; a moment that played to every portion of their fanbase; wrestling die-hards, anime obsessives, kids who just wanted to scream along with "Don’t you dare be sour!"—and merch buyers of all ages. A living embodiment of their philosophy that everything could be turned into a t-shirt, a toy, or a catchphrase, this was WWE’s most gloriously ridiculous and shamelessly marketable entrance, and it came from three men who’d long since earned the right to do exactly what they wanted. While Woods' original idea never got out of developmental (and probably only belonged there), what the world got instead was the exact kind of joy-soaked insanity that only The New Day could pull off.
WrestleMania entrances are supposed to be larger than life. New Day made them Saturday morning magic.
