Imperium currently has quite the star power in their ranks and in my opinion, remains as the most underrated factions in all of WWE today - meaning that they would make excellent opponents for The New Day.

Imperium is led by reigning WWE UK Champion, WALTER, and is also home to reigning NXT Tag Team Champions Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner. Barthel and Aichner won the titles from Matt Riddle and Timothy Thatcher, who was a part of the original RINGKAMPF group on the independent circuit, from which Imperium was initially formed. The success that Imperium has enjoyed means that the audience would likely instantly accept them as credible challengers to The New Day.

The group also has a fourth member in former WWE SmackDown star Alexander Wolfe. Therefore, it's likely that Imperium will dominate any other faction in terms of the numbers game, at this point. However, that being said, The New Day is a group that definitely wouldn't back down from a fight, and a battle against Imperium would be must-see for many fans.

The UK based faction has made their presence known on the blue brand of SmackDown in the past when they decided to protect their home turn and ambush Heavy Machinery, a few months ago. So, the possibility of them popping up on SmackDown and targeting The New Day is certainly a genuine one.

After all, who wouldn't want to make a statement by taking out one of the most successful tag teams in SmackDown history?
