#2 - New Day acting heel
This week saw New Day actually reference Demolition’s record tag title reign of 478 days for the first time and announce their intentions to break that record.
This was prior to their Title defence against Cesaro & Sheamus, who had earned this opportunity by being Team Raw’s sole survivors in the 10-on-10 elimination match at Survivor Series.

Not for the first time, New Day retained their championships with a cheap victory and this week saw them use blatant heel tactics to get the win.
Xavier Woods would first distract the referee while Kofi was tapping out to Cesaro’s ‘sharpshooter’, and then prevented Sheamus from breaking up what was to be the decisive pinfall.
I like this development in New Day’s character as they now seem desperate to break the record and will do it by any means necessary, it certainly freshens up their gimmick that was starting to get stale.
