Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E make up The New Day

Over recent years, The New Day has become one of the most-loved WWE factions. On their debut, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E had a gospel gimmick. WWE fans didn't seem to enjoy the characters and often reacted negatively at shows.

The New Day started to change their characters up a little, becoming more playful and dubbing their rivals, The League of Nations as "The League of Booty" and donning unicorn headbands, with Woods playing his trombone, Francesa, before and after matches. Around this time, the group also became the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, lasting an impressive 331 days with the belts.

In 2019, Kingston was chosen as a replacement for the injured Mustafa Ali in that year's Elimination Chamber, building a rivalry with then WWE Champion Daniel Bryan. The two later went head-to-head at Wrestlemania 35, with Kingston coming out on top

Kingston later lost the title to Brock Lesnar, and in November the same year, The New Day managed to become Tag Team Champions for the eighth time in their career. They dropped the belts at Extreme Rules 2020, and following this, Kingston gave his blessing for Big E to pursue a singles run, as he was injured and Woods was also out of action
