The New Day is riding smoothly on the same gimmick since 2014

When the 'New Day' was formed, no one had thought that they could last nearly four years. A smiling and dancing trio of three wrestlers mocking the WWE Universe to gain some cheap heat shouldn't have ascended above the lower mid-card at all. Yet, they became the longest reigning WWE tag team champions and brought the division to the world's notice.

You can complain that they turned face in the middle of it, but they didn't deviate from their fundamental theme. Even if you take into account their face turn, it has been over two years. Maintaining the same amount of charisma, if not surpassing it, over the span of two years is a huge achievement in the WWE.

Their in-ring work is great too. With such a farcical wrestling persona, many would think that they would often indulge in buffoonery activities. However, other than some rare occasions, they meant business once the bell rang.

The "New Day rocks" chants bustling in the background has proved that they made this nonsensical gimmick a rather intriguing one. Alas, rumors are circulating that the trio would be broken, and Big E will get a humongous push. If that's the truth, then many would miss this cheerful, jocular, and rapturous trio.

For their charisma to make t most out of this buffoonery gimmick, the New Day gets an A.
