5 Reasons WWE Shouldn't Split The New Day
4. Kofi, Big E, And Xavier Have Never Had It So Good
The New Day is hands down the best thing to ever happen to Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston, and Big E.
Kingston has been a credible midcard wrestler throughout his WWE career, but aside from a handful of United States and Intercontinental Title reigns (and a few memorable high spots here and there), he’d peaked as a singles wrestler. It’s unlikely he’ll ever reach main event level on his own, and his popularity has never been higher than it is today.
Big E was a strong NXT Champion and found great traction as Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee’s enforcer upon his main roster debut. He had a solid Intercontinental Title reign but soon found himself lost in WWE’s midcard following a one-sided Rusev feud that saw him take two consecutive pay-per-view losses. E has potential, but he’s never been put forward as a major star.
Xavier Woods? He’s an excellent performer and one of the company’s best talkers, but you can list his pre-New Day WWE accomplishments on the back of a postage stamp.
The New Day has made superstars of three unfancied mid-level wrestlers. They’ve achieved success and popularity they could only have dreamed of a few years ago, so where’s the sense in removing the thing that got them here in the first place?
That’s not to say that they wouldn’t have succeeded without The New Day, but this gimmick has been a home run for all three of them. Why risk throwing that away?
