WWE Rumor Roundup: Backstage details on Alexa Bliss and Bray Wyatt's relationship; Team RAW's possible 5th team member; Brock Lesnar's backstage attitude - 4th November 2020

#1 WWE announcer Byron Saxton was set to join The New Day

The New Day is one of the most iconic WWE factions of all time. Even though the group has now been broken up with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods moving to RAW while Big E has been retained on SmackDown, they are still good friends.

Interestingly, Big E revealed while speaking to New Day's Feel the Power podcast that Byron Saxton was set to be a member of The New Day as per original plans.

"The plan was a faction of me, Bryan Saxton, and Woods when we were in FCW. We got to do it in promo practice. We were excited about it but it never saw the light of day on any shows. That was in 2014, which is what sparked the idea for The New Day. Honestly, if we had not done that when we were in FCW, who knows where my career would be or where Woods would be. Kofi would still be fine, I'm sure." (H/T WrestlingInc)

Byron Saxton has become an important part of the WWE announce team even though his in-ring career never took off.
