Aside from the fact that Vince McMahon probably wants them to be the most decorated tag team unit in the history of the business, there has to be a reason why The New Day became the SmackDown Tag Team Champions for another run. I think the answer is quite simple if you think about it.
This is a team that everyone has said should have split up a long time ago because the novelty has worn off considering how long they have been at the top. But through thick and thin, the WWE think tank has kept them together owing to the great amount of merchandise that the trio sells, in addition to how good they are in the ring, putting on great programs with just about everyone.
But if the hacker leaks footage this week showcasing just how one of the members of The New Day has been conspiring against the rest, it could lay the foundation for a potential heel turn at some point down the line. Maybe Big E is caught conspiring against Kofi Kingston?
