#2 The New Day's WWE breakup

In the latest WWE Draft, fans were left reeling when it was announced that Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, who had only just returned to SmackDown, would be swapped to RAW.

As Stephanie McMahon announced this, the group, who were still in the ring following a tag team match against Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro, started enquiring about Big E. The Chief Brand Officer then announced that he was to remain on SmackDown.

The trio looked heartbroken in the wake of the news. The moment was truly the shock of the night, and a farewell match for the team has been set for the upcoming episode of SmackDown. The split has come following speculation that Big E is set for a huge push in the singles division of SmackDown.

The group has had many successes during their six-year run, and separating them in the Draft may help establish Big E as an individual, away from Kingston and Woods. As upsetting as the breakup of The New Day is, it will be interesting to see what will happen to the performers in WWE next.
