Every week should be Halloween for New Day. They manage to take the lighter moments and make them good fun for the fans, giving absurdity a wink and a nod.

The trio won over longtime fans by having Big E, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston dress up as Kama Mustafa, Papa Shango and the Godfather. It was a great was to put New Day in costume and give fans a good laugh. (It didn’t hurt that the first image was Big E as Kama in his Nation of Domination gear, which is what the trio originally was rumored to become, a 2014 version of NOD.)

New Day cut down most of SmackDown’s tag teams and mourned the loss of yet another trombone, but the visual of all three men as various gimmicks of one WWE Hall of Famer was enough on its own that they could have read the phone book and this segment would have been a positive.
