There's no question that New Day are one of the most fresh and entertaining acts in WWE at the moment, but it hasn't always been this way. Initially debuting with as a babyface group, they struggled with audience apathy before that same audience turned hostile and pelted the good guys with chants of 'New Day Sucks'.

And they did suck, to be honest. Despite being more than capable in the ring, they just had nothing about them that made you want to root for them besides impressive athleticism. Because of the negative chants, New Day turned heel, probably a good few months before WWE had hoped.

Now heels, they look like they're actually having fun. Kofi, Big E and Woods are allowed to be creative and goof around and it's a joy to watch, as they seem like really fun guys. Against teams like The Dudleyz their able to draw genuine heel heat, even if certain audience members have to suppress a smile at Woods' trombone playing and Big E's hypnotic gyrations.
