Can’t remember if I posted this or not somewhere else:

When New Day were drafted it kind of surprised me. But I guess the idea was for Big E to stand alone. Cool. I wasn’t entirely convinced Kofi & Woods would remain a tag team though. They’ve done them and The Usos on SmackDown before (not that it would stop them now). But when I saw the whinging that SmackDown didn’t get main eventers, I knew it meant more spots for guys to step into. New Day were at the top of that list.

I can see the merit in keeping them aligned forever and a day as brothers in solidarity. There’s merchandising and a feel-good story there. I can also see the merit in a feud between members. The New Day have been together for almost 7 years now (!). Has a tag team lasted that long? Honest question.

Kofi could really pop as a heel. So many different ways to go about it. He can be such a magnificent prick. Woods could go heel too, but I’d rather see him earn his way as a baby. But I think they’ve entered into this strange zone where a split would genuinely be “shocking.” And the WWE needs stories beyond Roman and whatever he is doing.

I worry Woods is going to do the goofy thing and act like an actual king. I hate that. He could do it better than most. But I hope they don’t do that. I worry about the tournament being an albatross more than anything. But of all potential winners in the brackets, it did feel like it “evolves” him the most. Whatever they do. It’s got this weird feeling of being a feather in his cap. I can imagine him watching Bret Hart in ‘93 and marking out. Now he gets to do it. There’s something in it.

I hope the intentions are good and the results are plentiful for whoever is involved. My prediction is that Happy Corbin tries to buy his crown back and he Madcap Moss feud with The New Day for weeks. Whatever. But I feel this is a good step for Woods. I remember there was a random US Title tournament a few years ago heading into WrestleMania I actually thought he should win. It would have just been “cool” to have Woods doing something as a single for a while.

I dunno. Let’s see where this goes (haunting words).
