New Day are lucky, originally they appeared to be something of New Nation of Domination and people were into the idea,having Big E as the muscle Kofi as the high flyer, and Xavier Woods,a guy who has multiple degrees IRL as the evil mastermind. All three then disappear from television and show up a few months later with the militant gimmick entirely dropped and in its place a weird gospel gimmick that everyone except the increasingly senile Vince McMahon thought was utter shit,The New Day were supposed to be faces but they were met with either boos or apathy every time they appeared.The WWE has been known to ignore fan reactions so this could've easily just continued to be the case with New Day being relegated to a team of jobber faces who fans had no reason to care about until they showed up on TV every once in a blue moon.Instead the WWE acknowledged the fans hatred which led to New Day KEEPING the gimmick and turning it up to super unbearable. It worked it shouldn't have, but it did. The New day managed to go from an also ran trio of jobbers to an amazing heel stable that has consistently managed to entertain and fans are loving it. Could've just as easily gone the other way.
