#1 Something happening with The New Day
What is going on with The New Day?
Trending
The trio has been relegated to midcard hell for the last couple of years and while they are sometimes given opportunities, it's far less than what they deserve. Beyond that, Corey Graves even said it himself that he forgot Kofi Kingston was a legitimate contender due to the constant talk of being booty and pancakes.
With that being said and The New Day gimmick running its course, one would have to believe that the company is heading towards some kind of break up of the group. Either that or WWE is hoping to use Kofi Kingston's performance to legitimize the group as contenders, which could also work, but doesn't seem as satisfying.
If nothing else, The New Day gimmick has become an albatross around the groups next. Sure, they are a popular tag team, are great merchandise sellers and are a constant part of Smackdown Live, but that doesn't make them legitimate contenders. What would make them legitimate contenders however is ditching the New Day gimmick and doing something else!
