They have to drop the belts
The fact is, the New Day has to lose the belts, and it probably needs to happen soon.
Now, this is not an insult to the trio. In fact, it is the exact opposite. Over the last eight months or so, the New Day has solidified itself as the clear top team in the WWE, even over recent division darlings the Usos and the legendary Dudley Boyz.
Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods have established themselves as the cream of the tag team crop by themselves in the WWE, and no other group has been able to match their blend of charisma on the microphone and skill in the ring.
But that is changing. With the entrance of Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson, Enzo and Big Cass and the Vaudevillains alongside existing teams like the League of Nations and the aforementioned Dudleys and Usos, the division is very deep right now.
That also doesn’t include any iteration of the Wyatt Family or other teams that could come together. But it’s hard for those teams to really establish themselves if they’re all just taking turns losing to the New Day at pay-per-views.
And with the New Day almost 90 days from the record held by Paul London and Brian Kendrick and 331 days with the current belts and even further from the overall record, there’s no reason to keep the belts on them for that.
