The previous editions of WWE Draft have seen multiple Tag Teams and factions splitting, like the Wyatt Family, The Bar, and many more. The story could be the same this year as many teams might face the same fate in the upcoming draft, with the biggest one being the New Day.

The trio of Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods came together in 2014 as a heel trio but soon turned into a massive babyface faction, spreading the "Power of Positivity" to the entire WWE Universe. Throughout their five-year-long history, New Day has won six different Tag Team Championships in the company and is considered as one of the best factions in the business today.

Sadly, every good thing has to come to an end, and with New Day seemingly running its course, it might be a "Best for Business" decision to split the trio at the 2019 Draft. While Kofi Kingston still has some unfinished business with Lesnar following his embarrassing 8-second defeat, drafting Big E and Xavier Woods to RAW might be a way to strengthen the Tag Team division of the red brand.

The two can later be given individual pushes as well, while Kofi can have a decent run in the upper-mid-card division of SmackDown.
