WWE’s “New Day” faction has been a staple of the company since its inception in 2015, but that may all change. The three members (Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) have always portrayed themselves as good guys throughout their run on WWE TV – so what could cause them to turn heel?

After years as fan favorites, WWE superstars The New Day would want to embrace their nasty side.
Big E, King Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston have had an interesting path as a trio, ranging from failing as a babyface group to turning to the dark side before being applauded and becoming one of the company’s most adored performers.
Despite being one of the most popular and successful teams of all time, the three stars have all considered doing a heel turn in the future, and it’s a side they’d all want to embrace.
‘Yeah!’ Xavier chuckled as he spoke exclusively to Metro.co.uk. Definitely – I’m a bad person!
‘It’s simply a lot of fun to shout at tiny kids,’ she says, ‘because when we were heels, our things would have kids being truly angry and furious with us.’ Being nasty, unpleasant, and despised is simply so much fun.
‘It’s nice to have people cheering us on and rooting for us to be the good guys — both sides are a lot of fun to play, so I wouldn’t mind.’ That’s something we adore, and we speak about it all the time!’
Big E, who lost the WWE Championship on Day 1 when eventual winner Brock Lesnar was inserted to the main event, had similar sentiments, saying it’s’so much fun’ to play the adversary.
‘To be honest, we’ve always wanted to turn heel — it’s something we’ve always wanted to do.’ ‘It’s just so much fun,’ he remarked, pointing out the advantages of being a fan favorite.
‘What I’m doing in the ring ties in so perfectly with everything I want to accomplish outside of the ring, whether it’s humanitarian work or simply expressing my story about my depression and mental health concerns.’ ‘Right now, I don’t think that makes a lot of sense.’

That’s not to say it won’t happen again in the future; Big E confessed their prior shifts ‘happened naturally,’ leaving the possibility open if the stars align.
‘The nice thing is that our turns occurred naturally, in the sense that we attempted to be babyfaces right out of the gate, but people weren’t having it, so we became heels, and then we just were applauded for so long,’ he chuckled.
‘If we do turn, it seems organic and natural again,’ says the author. Unfortunately, we’re in a situation where our responses are really darn excellent right now. ‘I don’t think that will happen anytime soon, but who knows?’
Their remarks come after Kofi told us earlier this summer that they would often ‘fantasize’ about a character makeover.

To be honest, we daydream about it constantly. I often tell people that the greatest fun I had in my profession was shouting at kids, threatening to ground kids, and threatening kids,’ he chuckled.
‘They’ll never forget when “I rooted for this person against The New Day, he threatened to ground me, but my guy defeated him,” they said.
‘I love that dynamic; it’s so much fun, and we talk about it all the time, but these people will never stop rooting for us.’ These individuals are just too fond of their pancakes and Booty-Os.’
