It has been just over a month or so since the debut of The New Day on WWE television. Many were optimistic about the trios chances to succeed. Kofi Kingston is a great worker that several fans are hoping will find something to sink his teeth into. Big E is a charismatic, nimble yet powerful athlete that everyone believed had a bright future. Xavier Woods is a ball of energy and charisma that hasnt ever really been given a gimmick to work with since his literally unceremonious call up from NXT in 2013. Anything to get these three bright talents featured should be a good thing. It hasnt been that long, but despite spirited performances by all three guys, The New Day simply isnt working. Fans dont care about them or what they stand for. The New Day chants dont really get anybody enthused, and their energy and effort havent really bought them any equity with the WWE Universe. What should be a fun way to feature three very fun performers just hasnt been fun at all. Whats wrong? It isnt that the three performers arent giving it their all, because they have been. Theyve objectively been very good in thankless roles. All three have delivered in the promo department when asked to, especially Kofi when he was asked to to commentary, considering the fact that the three stooges spent more time cracking jokes about Big Es sweat and Xavier Woods afro, rather than helping to get the group over. The three have never faltered when it comes to providing energy to the characters. Theres something that just isnt working, and were going to get to the bottom of it. Lets rock and roll!
