5 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE Smackdown

3. The New Day Continue To Thrive With TV Time

As aforementioned, The New Day are killing it right now. As the reigning WWE Tag-Team Champions, the trio have a natural chemistry that must be the envy of every other act in WWE. It's incredible to think that Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E previously had nothing else planned by the WWE writing team before banding together. All are very good talkers. The more TV time they're given, the more The New Day excel. Every aspect of their performance is over with the live crowd, and they come across well to those watching at home. On Smackdown, that continued to be the case. During a backstage segment with Seth Rollins, their positive approach had the WWE Champ putting his head in his hands. The New Day have won over management, that much is for sure. That's precisely why they're being given so much to work with recently, and long may that continue. It seems inevitable that they'll eventually lose the WWE Tag-Team Titles to The Dudley Boyz, but there's a lot left in the tank for the group.
