It is extremely sad that Xavier Woods has to sit on the sidelines and watch his friends and brothers in The New Day take on The Miz and John Morrison. We all know that he must be itching to get back into the ring, doing what he loves, very soon.

But when he does return, it presents The New Day with a very interesting possibility. Many people are bored of The New Day as babyfaces and they believe that this heel trio could honestly do a wonderful job if they were to be eventually turned heel on WWE SmackDown.

I can't imagine Kofi Kingston not getting into the title picture and I'm guessing that he will do so against Roman Reigns after the Big Dog becomes the Universal Champion. This is, of course, assuming that Roman Reigns is in line to win the Royal Rumble and challenge The Fiend at WrestleMania 36.

So when Roman Reigns takes on Kofi Kingston, with The New Day at ringside for support, he'll need some backup too, and who better than The Usos?
