#1 The New Day
Of all the teams on this list, The New Day probably had the worst chances of ever making it work. They were doomed from the very beginning, and fans knew it. They had a silly gimmick with racially questionable undertones.
They had goofy music, and the gear to match. Their disgustingly positive attitudes were beyond belief, even for heels, and no one that watched WWE programming felt this was going anywhere but the bottom. The New Day was, perhaps, the worst gimmick WWE Creative had ever introduced.
Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?
Despite the odds, despite the whole world working against them, and despite WWE evidently booking them together because there just wasn’t another plan for them, The New Day got over. This was the point at which fans were reminded that truly anything can happen in WWE.
Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods took a mess and made it a masterpiece. They set off on a run that not only gave them a tag team title reign that could break Demolition’s record but one that is still going strong after two years.
They sell merchandise; they get laughs, and they’re having a blast. Fans that once hated them, now love them, and fans that could’ve turned on them by now, are still with them. The New Day is, perhaps, the biggest success story WWE has seen since Daniel Bryan, and they show no signs of stopping.
The New Day won’t last forever of course, but when it’s time to split them up, they will likely go out on top. They will also go out as one of the most surprisingly fun and popular tag teams that WWE fans have ever known.
