The New Day About To Break WWE Record?

The power of positivity truly is an amazing thing.

Next Sunday at WWE Extreme Rules, The New Day will defend their WWE World Tag Team Championships against Aiden English and Simon Gotch, better known as The Vaudevillains.

Kofi, E. and Woods haven't exactly defended the titles a huge amount over the last couple of months, but they can't be blamed for that. The truth is, they have dominated the division for a year or so now.

As things stand, New Day are just 17 days away from tying the longest cumulative tag team title record in WWE history. We're talking of course about the WWE Tag Team Championships, introduced in 2002 in order to give SmackDown its own set of tag belts. Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit were the first champions, and a grand total of 44 different teams have held the straps.

New Day's current reign stands at 265 days, which is still someway behind Paul London and Brian Kendrick's 331-day reign in 2006/07. Their two reigns combined however clock in at 314 days (as of today), and unless Gotch and English can pull a surprise it would seem that the power of positivity truly does work, and the New Day does indeed rock.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
