It was just a few years ago when three WWE Superstars had reached a stale point in their respective careers and for whatever reason, things were just not going too well for Kofi, Xavier and Big E. Somewhere along the way, someone amongst WWE's creative brain decided to put the three stars together and give them a super-hokey babyface run. While the idea may have seemed provocative and risky at first, somehow it worked and before you knew it, the entire WWE Universe got behind the stable and then, they reintroduced the infamous "Freebird Rule" after winning the WWE Tag Team Championships at the 2015 Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
The New Day quickly became the hottest tag team in all of professional wrestling. What started out as an experiment had now become a potential dynasty and I, for one, firmly believe that one day, when the history books are re-written, we will read about The New Day alongside the likes of The Freebirds and other great 3-man stables.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
