The New Day will go down in history as one of the most successful factions to ever grace a WWE ring, but their original gimmick left much to be desired. Prior to their current incarnation, Big E, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston were portrayed as dancing preachers, which didn’t warm them to the WWE Universe at first. The stable members weren’t fans of the gimmick either, and they opened up about their experience on the latest episode of the Feel the Power podcast.
As quoted by 411Mania, the three superstars pretended to like the idea when Vince McMahon proposed it. According to Kingston, they had been waiting for a storyline for months at the time, and they didn’t want to turn down a chance to get on television.
