During the first night of the WWE Draft, The New Day received the shocking news they would be forced to split up. This week on WWE SmackDown, the trio competed in their final match together for the foreseeable future.

Xavier Woods, Big E, and Kofi Kingston delivered a great promo about their time together and their plan to make one final impact. Afterward, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura teamed up with Sheamus to attempt to spoil The New Day's farewell match on SmackDown.

The match was filled with several fast-paced tags as the heel team continued to double team against their opponents to gain an unfair advantage. They traded big moves, but Big E seemed more determined than ever to score one final victory before Woods and Kingston moved to WWE RAW.

In the end, Woods and Big E hit the Midnight Hour to pick up the win. Then, the three real-life friends embraced in the middle of the ring to celebrate their victory as ThunderDome looked on.

This was a great showing for the heels, as well. Cesaro, Sheamus, and Nakamura work well together to give them the farewell they deserved. It was good to see WWE give The Purveyors of Positivity a memorable last match before they went their separate ways.
