One trend to avoid
Despite any potential singles title pursuits, the WWE needs to avoid any temptation to break the group up. While it would be fun to see Kofi pick up the World Heavyweight Championship to complete his career grand slam or see Big E show his individual dominance in the title ranks, that shouldn’t come at the expense of a truly entertaining group.
For many people, the New Day is one of the most entertaining parts of WWE programming, with a brand of wit and humor that others struggle to achieve. The WWE has had a tendency to break up groups in an effort to avoid staleness in recent years, but that’s part of why the tag team ranks have become so thin. Imagine how big of a deal the tag team belts could be if the New Day was battling the Shield as serious contenders.
We’ve seen where Woods, Kofi and Big E can end up if left as individual performers, and truthfully, the singles ranks are deep enough now that at least two of them would get lost in the shuffle on their own. But as a group, they can be factors in almost any WWE division, and for that reason, they should be left to shine.
