WWE star and a former WWE Champion Big E who is also a former eight times WWE Tag Team Champion and former two times WWE Intercontinental Champion recently claimed that The New Day has gone too far to play another heel gimmick in the near future.
The New Day is considered as one of the best stables in professional wrestling history. Some fans even consider it has the best stable in the world of professional wrestling. Big E, Kingston and Xavier Woods have been the members of this table since the very first day.
Big E Doubts If New Day Can Be Heel Again
Fans these days believe that the stable is too good to play negative roles. But it is not known to the newer fans that the stable has played heel gimmick multiple times previously and they had been quite successful as villains in WWE as well. They were extremely good at gathering heat from the fans during their heel run.
But is it really impossible for WWE to turn them heel once again? The way they had been booked recently it is definitely very difficult and challenging to give them a proper storyline as a heel stable. But WWE is doing quite good after the takeover of Triple H and we hope they would do the best thing that is possible for the stable.
Big E who is also a former eight times WWE Tag Team Champion and former two times WWE Intercontinental Champion recently spoke to the Cheap Heat podcast where he claimed that The New Day has gone too far to play another heel gimmick in the near future. He said;
“I’m so far out from that. When the doctor says, ‘we’ll re-scan you in a year.’ That’s March (2023). We’re not close to March,” he said. “What we did with New Day, for us, it’s maximizing, ‘what do I do well and what are other people not doing?’ I kind of want to see what the landscape looks like as far as, if things are looking good in March and I’m cleared, what do things look like then?
“The cool thing is, it was my first run and now I have the opportunity to learn from the missteps or make different choices. You just never want to come back just to do the same thing. (Xavier) Woods always says this, and I’m a big believer, that after a long time, three months or more of being out, you want to come back with something different. With a different look, a different feel.
“There are so many different things I’ve wanted to do as well in the ring, so many things we’ve talked about. I’m so glad we got to do funny, goofy New Day, but besides the one week, one TV, the very first time, that’s the only time we were militant New Day. Man, we had a ton of ideas. That would be dope as well. I don’t know if we’re too far gone, if you’ve seen too many hip thrusts and gyrations to now take us seriously as diabolical murderous heels, but I’d love to try my hand at different things to see if it works. We might be too far gone, I don’t know.”
