5 WWE Superstars who should be the next honorary member of New Day

Sometimes the WWE does things that make people like us travel to the imagination world within our own minds and fantasize about things that we would like to see.

That is exactly what happened when Kevin Owens joined the New Day as its honorary member in the absence of Big E. The ride was such a fun one that it made me wonder as to whether WWE should continue doing this.

I mean, Big E is going to be out injured for a while and that means that there would be a gap in the New Day – a faction that enjoying a lot of limelight since Kofi Kingston won the WWE Championship.

The New Day are going to be on SmackDown against next week and the might be without Big E. As a result, they have a chance to bring in a Superstar as an honorary and, in my opinion, given how popular the move was with Kevin Owens, they should do that and here are 5 possible candidates.

#5 R-Truth

The most natural of all WWE Superstars to take the place of Big E on a temporary basis in the New Day is R-Truth. New Day has always been about fooling around and having fun.

They are about dancing, singing, twerking and whatnot, and R-Truth already does all those things without being in the New Day. He is perhaps the most hilarious singles competitor in the roster and adding Truth to New Day would give them an extra layer of hilarity.

However, the only drawback with adding Truth is that there would be no purpose to it. With Owens, many purposes could have been interpreted but the same can’t be said about R-Truth’s addition as he would just be a filler for another week.

#4 Big Show

One might be able to count the number of stars in the night sky but that very person would find it very difficult to point out the number of times Big Show turned heel or face in his career.

In fact, Big E summed it up best on SmackDown last October while addressing Big Show’s heel turn to help The Bar win the SmackDown Tag Titles: “[…] this grisly 7 foot goof turns back and forth more than a flapjack!”

The last time we saw him, he had a confrontation against The Bar – the team he helped with the tag titles against New Day – in November 2018. Since then, he hasn’t appeared on WWE TV shows.

But he was on TV on Syfy show ‘Happy!’ and it would be nice if he comes to SmackDown to apologize to the New Day for wronging them and then joining them to atone for his sins (and maybe also promote his show).

Show is a giant teddy and would be incredible as an honorary New Day member.

#3 Finn Balor

Okay, now things are going to get a little serious and some of you might not agree with me. After all, this is Finn Balor we are talking about. He is the Demon – perhaps the darkest persona donned after the Undertaker’s Deadman (right up there or even better than Bray Wyatt’s character).

However, the advantage that Balor’s gimmick has is that he shifts back and forth, unlike the aforementioned two wrestlers (not counting Biker Taker). He is almost always Finn Balor and only summons the Demon occasionally.

The Intercontinental Champion is now on SmackDown and what better way to welcome him to the roster than have him join New Day temporarily. He is certainly capable of having fun and dancing around as you can see in the video below.

Balor is already over with the fans but that will be taken to another level if WWE decides to pair him with Kingston and Woods for one show.

#2 Roman Reigns

Wait, what? Roman Reigns? The guy is who is supposed to be unbeatable, a Superman in the ring and the face of the company? Yes, Roman Reigns – and let me tell you why.

Reigns has been projected as someone who is a good guy but is damn serious and is near-unbeatable. His Superman character has almost been shoved down the throats of the fans by WWE, which is why he was booed a lot prior to his leukemia returning – even though he was the ‘good guy’.

And it was never Reigns’ fault in the first place. One can easily fathom how likable the guy is when he is allowed to be himself, to show his humane side (like in the video above). Let him be Roman Reigns, but let him also bring some Joe with him.

And you know what Joe does? This:

Not only will it be refreshing to see him with the New Day, it will also put him over with the fans more than he has ever been in his entire career.

#1 Continue with Kevin Owens

Personally, I would love to see what Roman Reigns could do if he is allowed to join the New Day for just an episode but if it is not him, then Kevin Owens is the man.

I even wrote an entire slideshow showcasing the reasons why Kevin Owens should continue being an honorary New Day member for the time being. We are aware of how amazing Owens is as a villain – he is so naturally savage that the ‘bad guy’ character suits him best.

However, as was seen in the last episode of WWE SmackDown, Kevin Owens as a face is just as good. Not only did he have a lot of fun with the New Day but he also ‘infected’ the joy with the fans.

Apart from that, sticking with the New Day also serves a storyline purpose as he could turn on them and challenge Kingston for the title.
