Once upon a time, the careers of three WWE Superstars had reached a point where things were somewhat stagnant, to say the least.
Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods all had tremendous talent, but each of them was individually in a creative slump, thanks to the WWE Creative powers, which could not figure out what direction to take with the Superstars.
At first, the idea behind The New Day gimmick appeared to be a stretch, as far as whether or not it would get over. Nonetheless, this was a chance not only worth taking, but a chance that absolutely needed to be taken.

In the beginning, The New Day was slow in taking off. Fans didn't really know how or if they could accept them at all. However, these three men were determined to make it work, which is exactly what they did.
The New Day would go on to usher back in the Freebird Rule, which allowed for an exciting added element to the Tag Team Championship scene.
As the three continued their historic journey, The New Day would eventually go on to break the record for longest WWE Tag Team title reign, previously set by legendary tag team, Demolition.
Regardless of how things started out for The New Day, one thing is now crystal clear... New Day certainly ROCKS!
