5 Reasons why Kevin Owens replacing Kofi Kingston at Fastlane is a big mistake

#1 Missed opportunity to break-up The New Day

The New Day could have imploded at Fastlane.

Before the scheduled match between Kofi Kingston and Daniel Bryan at Fastlane, there were rumors that Big E was possibly going to turn on Kingston and cost him his title match at Fastlane. Then Big E would go on to have a WrestleMania program with Kingston.

Sure, this move will be a risky one for WWE, since The New Day is one of the most established and successful groups in WWE today, they have a record-setting merchandise sales even more than some of the top WWE superstars.

So it won't be an easy decision for WWE but in the past when The Shield imploded, that was even more of a tougher decision, so WWE will definitely not hesitate to pull the trigger for The New Day to finally split as singles stars.

The only problem is timing, Fastlane was the right moment for The New day to implode but with Kingston out of the WWE Title picture, WWE missed an opportunity to break-up The New Day.

It's possible that this break-up still ends-up happening mostly before WrestleMania but it won't be as great as it would have been at Fastlane.
