If WrestleMania 33 is being advertised as the ‘Ultimate Thrill Ride’, then the experience would be far from complete without a segment from the top babyface unit- The New Day. Yes, they are currently the official hosts, but we are confident that this designation is a smokescreen for a pretty big segment. After all, Vince McMahon put the entire tag team division on hold while The New Day broke Demolition’s record to become the longest reigning tag team champions of all time. Moreover, they still get massive pops and remain great merchandise (and cereal) sellers on the Raw roster.
So, we thought to ourselves, what could WWE have planned for The New Day on the grand stage? We came up with five distinct possibilities. Do let us know in the comments section if you think WWE may have planned some other special plans for the quirky trio. Who? Who? Who? Why, The New Day!
#5 Match against the Hardys
The Hardys have been very vocal about challenging the ‘Day of New’, the champions of ‘Meekmahan’. While there is an ongoing controversy concerning their ‘broken’ gimmick, the grapevine has been buzzing about the big return of Matt and Jeff to WWE. Even if they return in their original avatar, a feud with The New Day would be a huge deal for sure.
Of all the possibilities, this would be the ultimate mark-out moment in this countdown. Irrespective of the results, this would be a feud between the most renowned team in independent wrestling versus a superstar WWE unit. What will you chant if this transpires? ‘Delete’ or ‘New Day Rocks’?
WWE’s tag team division desperately needs a shake up(on both shows), and if anyone can achieve this, it is certainly the Hardy Boyz.
#4 Welcome Hulk Hogan back to WWE
After being completely erased from the history books, the greatest champion in WWE history is slowly being brought back to the fold. 30 years since Hulk Hogan slammed Andre the Giant on to the canvas and shook the world of sports entertainment forever, we predict he makes a return. Time heals all wounds, and while the comments that Hulk Hogan made were inexcusable, we see the reaction to his comeback as being more positive than negative.
Just to make things a little more fool proof, we presume that New Day would be his welcoming committee back into the world of sports entertainment, considering that they are really ‘over’ babyfaces. Much like Hogan, The New Day are gold on the mic too, and if they have to work a segment together, we foresee it being truly special. Will Hulkamania run wild in Orlando, then? Only time will tell.
#3 Ice cream for everyone
After the runaway success of their Booty-O cereal gimmick, The New Day has moved on to yet another product with their unique, distinctive branding- New Day Ice Cream. Much like talk show hosts do, we wonder if the WrestleMania hosts too will not only introduce this new flavour of ice cream but ensure that everyone in the building gets one!

After weeks of building up to the launch of this product, this is the only possibility that makes sense. Sure, it sounds like a logistical nightmare, but we are confident that with the right planning, WWE can make it happen, quite easily. New Day will certainly rock then.
#2 Putting over The Revival at the Show of Shows
One wouldn't be too far off the mark if he/she claims that The Revival are the best tag team in WWE right now. Despite their skill and aptitude, they have been in NXT for a long time, and one presumes this is to make their main roster debut feel special. What if WWE decides to debut them a day earlier than is customary, at WrestleMania itself? There would seriously be no bigger platform and no bigger opponents than The New Day.
We presume that The New Day would put over The Revival to kickstart their careers and launch them right to the top. Like we mentioned before, the tag team division needs an overhaul and none better than The Revival to achieve the same, in our opinion.
#1 The long awaited break up!
Let's face it. While The New Day are still very popular, they aren't on fire like they were a few months back. We believe that there's still money to be made in having them feud with each other. This will free up both Big E and Kingston to bolster the mid card in WWE and maybe even allow Xavier Woods to power up 205 Live. While we’ll be sad to see them go, we’re sure a great wrestling program will emerge from it.
