I think we're finally at a stage when Kofi Kingston as Champion is a separate entity from the New Day group. There may be more equity in bringing Big E and Xavier Woods to RAW and have Kofi Kingston compete on SmackDown, to finish the Brock Lesnar storyline. I'm guessing that fans are unhappy with how the match with Lesnar played out on the premiere of SmackDown on FOX and they'll want a more competitive match at some point in the future.

It does make sense to split up the New Day because they seem to have run their course as a comedy act, after so many years at the very top of the industry. What else is there for them to accomplish as a unit after the end of KofiMania and after so many tag team title runs? It just seems like WWE could send Xavier Woods to 205 Live for a spell to bolster the division on the purple brand soon.
Big E has immense promise and he could become the top guy in the company very soon indeed. Keeping New Day together seems a bit redundant at this particular point.
