The New Day celebrated its tenth anniversary as a faction last night on WWE RAW, and Big E made a surprising return. The former WWE Champion has not competed since suffering a broken neck in 2022 but returned last night on the red brand with an interesting offer for Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
The veteran suggested that he become the duo’s manager as a way to get The New Day back on track. Woods and Kingston scoffed at the suggestion and turned heel by berating Big E for not being there for them for the past two years.
Listed below are four targets for the faction following their recent heel turn on WWE television.
#4. The New Day could go after The Judgment Day on WWE RAW
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have not been able to get on the same page for months. The duo had a heated argument after getting squashed by Alpha Academy last week, and all signs pointed to The New Day breaking up. However, Woods and Kingston appeared to have found common ground in their dislike for Big E, and it could lead to the faction having success again.
The New Day may decide to approach RAW GM Adam Pearce in the weeks ahead and demand a shot at the World Tag Team Championship. Finn Balor and JD McDonagh currently hold the titles but have only defended them a few times since becoming champions in June. Woods and Kingston may capture the titles in the coming weeks, allowing Balor to focus on his rivalry with Damian Priest.
#3. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods could get revenge on Alpha Academy
Alpha Academy’s Akira Tozawa and Otis demolished Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston last week on WWE RAW. Woods thought he should start the match, but Kingston disagreed. Xavier then tagged himself in but wound up getting pinned by Tozawa after he connected with a Senton.
The New Day appears to be on the same page once again and could request a rematch against Alpha Academy. Kingston and Woods would likely win the rematch and may attack Otis and Tozawa following the bell to get the crowd to turn against them as heels.
#2. Woods and Kingston may target The Wyatt Sicks on WWE RAW
The Wyatt Sicks are currently in a bitter rivalry with The Miz and The Final Testament on RAW. Uncle Howdy’s faction will be squaring off against The A-Lister and Karrion Kross’s faction in an Eight-person tag team match next week on the red brand.
The sinister group has previously targeted individuals who betrayed their teammates. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods may believe that The Wyatt Sicks will eventually come after them on RAW and could decide to take action next week. The New Day could interfere in the grudge match and cost Uncle Howdy’s faction the bout against The Final Testament and The Miz.
Karrion Kross tried to convince Xavier Woods to leave Kofi Kingston behind earlier this year but may decide to form an alliance with The New Day now that they have turned heel.
#1. The New Day could target WWE Tag Team Champions Motor City Machine Guns
The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) defeated The Bloodline on the October 25 edition of SmackDown to capture the WWE Tag Team Championship. The Street Profits and #DIY are currently in pursuit of the titles on WWE SmackDown.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods may decide to switch brands and go after the Motor City Machine Guns on the blue brand. The two legendary tag teams could have an epic rivalry for the titles over the next few months.
