Not everything during the draft was good news for everyone

Dude. My 7 year old kid was in tears. 🤦♂️ He was devastated. He immediately redid the draft with action figures and drafted The New Day intact 1st overall. Then went to his room. I found him crying and WRITING the attached. Spoiler: Last word on other side of the page is “faces”. pic.twitter.com/Fa8UUCkbDd
So, on the first night of WWE Draft 2020, Stephanie McMahon stipulated that Big E would remain on SmackDown whereas Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods would go to RAW with the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Once they went over to RAW on the second night of WWE Draft 2020, there was a trade with The Street Profits, where Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods became the RAW Tag Team Champions.
The end of The New Day isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world, because it allows Big E to branch out, drop the comedy act and become a completely different person after WWE Draft 2020. In a lot of ways, his run could even potentially eclipse that of Kofi Kingston if he is booked right.

This week on the #newdaypod, In an effort to find out why my body does not really sweat when I wrestle or workout, the question arises: “Does your brother sweat?”...I don’t truly know! So let’s ask him: @teamtemp0, do you sweat??? The people need to know!#NewDayPod#sweatpic.twitter.com/AwTOHNfG3t
So, do you think the decision to split up The New Day was the right call, reader? Also, do check out The Miz talking about Big E as a potential singles performer in the video that's been linked above, from our YouTube.
