One of the most unlikely success stories of recent pro wrestling memory, The New Day started out as a throwaway ethnic stable but wound up becoming one of the most popular wrestling units in sports entertainment. Their merchandise sales are second only to Roman Reigns, and their popularity extends beyond the squared circle thanks in part to Xavier Woods's strong social media game and video game podcast, Up Up Down Down.

Possessed of a goofy demeanor, yet able to throw down in a very physical way, The New Day often utilizes the "Freebird Rule," where any of the three can defend the tag team championships they frequently have around their waists.
