AWWWWWW, TV TROOOOOOPES! DON'T YOU DARE BE SOUR! CLAP FOR THE PAGE OF YOUR WORLD-FAMOUS TWELVE-TIME CHAMPS... AND FEEEEEEEEL... THE POOOOOWER!IT'S A NEW DAY! YES, IT IS!The New Day is a 3-man stable in WWE consisting of Big E (formerly "Big E. Langston"), Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods.The stable debuted in November 2014 with a gimmick reminiscent of Southern Baptist preachers, complete with a backup gospel choir and a lot of Clap Your Hands If You Believe. For the first few months, they were not exactly well-received, with most finding the gimmick to be corny, racist and not fitting in well with the general tone of WWE.However, an extremely subtle Face–Heel Turn combined with a doubling down of their hamminess and a run at the tag-team titles made them one of the biggest hits in the company. By keeping up basically the same shtick but as villains, they immediately went from awkward and corny to absolutely glorious trolls who were masters of insulting everyone in the WWE Universe with smug smiles on their faces.This made the trio so popular that they became the de facto faces of the company's roster, completing another subtle turn simply by phasing out heel tactics in early 2016. Between the RAW and Smack Down titles, they are the ten-time, and longest-reigning... "W. W. E. World. Tag. Team. CHAMPIONS!"And during their run together, Kofi defeated Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 to finally become the... "W. W. E. World. Heavy. Weight. CHAMPION!"After a six-year uninterrupted run together, The New Day were broken up in the 2020 Draft when Kingston and Woods were drafted to RAW while Big E was separately drafted to remain on SmackDown, with the team having one last 3v3 tag match on the next SmackDown against The Bar and Shinsuke Nakamura as a farewell celebration. A year later, however, they were reunited when Big E cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Bobby Lashley to become the second member of the team to win the WWE Championship. | |

The Rival | |
The New Day (Wrestling) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: The Shield during the latter's second run, culminating in a suitably epic six-man tag match at the 2017 edition of Survivor Series. While the New Day lost, the match was excruciatingly close, and the Shield put them over in an online video right afterwards. Over the balance of their existence it's probably more accurate to say that their rivals are The Usos. Both have been the only real mainstays of the tag division over the late 2010s, both with several tag team title reigns on both brands to their credit, and any program featuring the two against one another has been protracted and consisted of several months worth of matches, each with seemingly higher stakes and brutality in comparison to the last. | |

Hidden Depths: People will often forget that the wacky troll blowing his trombone (and his ability to actually play recognizable tunes on it is another example) has, somewhere during his lengthy wrestling career, also found the time to earn 2 bachelor's and one master's degree, and is not far away from a PhD in psychology.

Distaff Counterpart: If social media is any indication, Team B.A.D. (Sasha Banks, Naomi, and Tamina) are this in real life. This briefly crept into their storyline characterization before the 2015 Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view, before being quickly dropped. They do seem to retain a friendship behind the scenes, though. In the summer of 2016, with Tamina injured, Naomi on SmackDown, and Sasha out for injury recovery and her honeymoon, the team found another female friend in the debuting Bayley, who had retained a similar gimmick of positivity for an even longer period of time. | |

Arch-Enemy: most consistently, their rivalries have been with Sheamus (individually, as part of the League of Nations, and as part of The Bar), The Bar (in which they insult Sheamus and tolerate Cesaro as he was their first rival during his team with Tyson Kidd) feud with The Brawling Brutes with Ridge Holland and Butch, The Usos (in a rivalry that gradually evolved into Worthy Opponent and Friendly Enemy), The Hurt Business and The Viking Raiders. | |

Lethal Joke Character | |
The New Day (Wrestling) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: Ever since turning heel they seem to have evolved into this. Best demonstrated at the end of the October 5, 2015 edition of Raw. In the course of about 15 minutes, they beat down Dolph Ziggler before he could answer John Cena's United States Championship Open Challenge. Proceeded to have Big E answer said challenge, then when E failed to win the title, proceeded to beat the hell out of Cena. When Ziggler came out to help, they beat him up too. Finally when The Dudley Boys came out to help, they proceeded to lay waste to all four of them. The show ended with the New Day standing tall over 2 legends, a huge fan favorite and the face of the company. All while the crowd, Cena's hometown mind you, chanted "New...Day Rocks!" Needless to say, don't think anyone thinks they're jokes anymore. | |

Zerg Rush | |
The New Day (Wrestling) / int_41dd77d | comment |
Zerg Rush: Their Unicorn Stampede signature move whenever they're all able to take part in a match. An opponent is whipped into their corner of the ring, where they're assaulted by a series of foot stomps. The legal man then tags out, restarting the usual five-count in the process, and their replacement then continues the stomping. It's the easiest and most convenient way for the New Day to triple-team an opponent as opposed to using double-team attacks such as the Midnight Hour. | |

The New Day (Wrestling) / int_52c0c7cf | comment |
Motive Decay: At first, they were genuine babyfaces, focused on thinking positive and imploring their fans to do the same. Then, as the crowd turned on them, they went more and more cloudcuckoolander and eventually turned heel. By the end of 2015, they were three adults replacing random words with "booty," gyrating their hips, playing the trombone, and wearing plastic unicorn horns, all while giving the crowd a hard time. Best exemplified in their change of TitanTron which switched from their earlier gospel preacher gimmick to one filled with rainbows and unicorns. The only thing that they still have from the original gimmick is their gospel choir theme. | |

The New Day (Wrestling) / int_97522514 | comment |
Heel–Face Revolving Door: Much like The Rock, The New Day are an example of this actually working out. Their original "Gospel" gimmick failed to get them over, with the fans booing them. The New Day took the heat and turned heel, turning up their hamminess in the process. This made them too funny to hate, so the crowds started cheering the New Day instead. The team turned face again while keeping the new gimmick, and it stuck. | |

Homage: Their announcement as WrestleMania 33 hosts have Big E, Xavier and Kofi coming down as Kama, Papa Shango and The Godfather. On the 2018 Halloween episode of Smackdown, they came dressed as Gangrel (Big E), Edge (Xavier) and Christian (Kofi), complete with The Brood's theme and entrance. | |

True Companions | |
The New Day (Wrestling) / int_c313d43a | comment |
True Companions: Seems to be the case not just with each other, but much of the locker room, especially those that came up around the same time as them. Notable features in their behind the scenes adventures, especially on Up, Up, Down, Down, are Heath Slater, Seth Rollins, Sasha Banks and Mikaze. Xavier taking the punishment for the whole team following his loss against Kenny Omega at the Street Fighter V E3 2018 series of best 5-out-of-9 exhibition matches is a sign of this. Also the fact that both Big E and Kofi accepted to be a part of it. Kofi's Road to WrestleMania of early March 2019 cements this. To ensure that Kofi makes it, Big E and Xavier go through a four tag-team gauntlet match and win. It's notable that in five years there hasn't been so much as a hint of dissension between the three. No revolving doors, and any absences have been strictly due to injury. That just doesn't happen in stables - particularly in WWE, where the tendency is to look for a breakout star within a team and split them off from the others. In fact, Xavier Woods and Big E were instrumental in securing Kofi's path to Wrestling/Wrestlemania glory. And Kofi in turn did not abandon the others when he won - he was just a part of the stable as champion as he had been before. And when he lost the WWE Championship, he immediately recovered by winning the tag titles (again!) with Big E weeks later. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: After Kingston and Woods got RKO'd by Randy Orton, who was blowing off steam after Seth Rollins banned his signature finisher at Rollins and Orton's 2015 Extreme Rules match, Big E (not at first) realized this trope at not wanting be a third victim, backing up toward backstage saying "I'm good, I'm good". | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
The New Day (Wrestling) / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Xavier seems to be the only one one not approaching the Wyatts with the New Day's usual brand of "positivity" and peppy humor, because he's smart enough to realize that the Wyatts aren't another team that simply wants to outdo New Day in the ring; they also want to break down the New Day spiritually and outright destroy them. After the Bludgeon Brothers attacked them and the Usos at Fastlane 2018, Big E was to team up with Jey Uso to avenge their respective teammates on the following episode of SmackDown. Still furious over the attack, Big E came into the ring without his usual speech. March '19 had them absolute somber during Kofi's painful Road to WrestleMania run, to the point that Xavier and Big E wanted to leave the WWE because of it. | |

Groin Attack | |
The New Day (Wrestling) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson once took Big E out of commission for several weeks by yanking him nads-first into a ring post. Resulting funny vignettes by Gallows and Anderson aside, it also had a strategic element, as it forced Kofi and Woods to defend the titles. The two don't wrestle together very often in title defenses (usually it's Big E and Kofi, or sometimes Big E and Woods) and the team also loses their biggest, physically strongest member. Bad timing when you're being opposed by a 300-pound monster like Luke Gallows. | |

My Rule Fu Is Stronger than Yours: While the team must defend the Tag Team Championship every match under the "Freebird Rule", where any two members can put the title on the line, if it seems the match is lost, the third (generally Woods) can use the rules to their advantage: by getting the team disqualified in a losing effort, they forfeit the match, but retain the title. | |
