This is bound to happen at some point in time. Kofi Kingston won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35. His New Day brethren celebrated with him in one of the greatest post-match celebrations in 'Mania history. There will come a time though, when the aura of KofiMania will fade away, and that's when WWE will pull the trigger on a heel turn that would break up the group.
The New Day remained unscathed in the Superstar Shakeup, and Big E is currently out with an injury. Come Summerslam season, a storyline could kick off where Big E gets tired of riding in Kofi's shadow, turning heel in the process and attacking his brother.
The angle could see Xavier Woods acting as a mediator between the two Superstars, with Mr. McMahon forcing him to become the special referee for a grudge match at the PPV, pitting Kofi Kingston and Big E. This could end with Big E losing and realizing his mistake, with the three Superstars embracing in the middle of the ring to reform the fan-favorite faction.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
