#3 WWE needs to keep an eye on the future
Just a few days ago, the leader of New Day, Kofi Kingston, spoke to Newsweek and revealed that he may retire when his current contract expires.
Kofi recently signed a five-year contract and the 38-year old has performed some of the most death-defying stunts in WWE’s history which have helped him become one of the biggest stars in the company. However, the same moves have taken a toll over the veteran’s body and he will be looking to take a break and spend time with his family.
Xavier Woods and Big E are still young and have a long way to go in their careers. 33-year-old Big E has only won a single Championship on his own on the main roster, while he was the NXT Champion at a time when the brand was still referred to as a developmental brand.
Built like a tank, Big E is one man who should have won at least one top title or several mid-card Championships by now, but his alliance with Woods and Kingston kept him in tag team action.
If Kofi does retire in the coming few years or takes a long break, then the company must have something planned for Big E and Woods in order to put them up as top talent.
With that in mind, Big E’s win in this year’s Royal Rumble could give him a kickstart just like Kofi got last year, and once New Day does disband, he will be much better set at going forth as a singles competitor once again.
