The WWE Universe witnessed the demise of one of the most successful factions in history, The New Day. The unfortunate incident came on the December 2nd episode of RAW. While Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods refused to accept Big E back, another superstar has been speculated about joining Kingston and Woods in the faction.
The New Day was formed by Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods in 2014. Since then, they have emerged as a highly popular and successful WWE stable. This was evident with their 11 WWE tag team titles. Moreover, each individual also attained major singles success while continuing to represent the ‘Power of Positivity.’
The trio reunited on WWE RAW this week for their 10-year anniversary. However, it turned out to be one of the most heartbreaking nights for the WWE Universe. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods ousted Big E from the New Day. They accused him of leaving them ever since he got injured.
Would Wes Lee be a good fit for New Day?
Discussion of a new third member of New Day began when a fan suggested on X that NXT prospect Wes Lee could be a good fit for the Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods team. They spoke about Wes Lee replacing Big E so that the trio could form a dominant heel faction, citing Lee’s recent turn on NXT.
The fan further added, “Wes can talk about how he was in a group that left him also just like Big E left Kofi and Creed.” According to him, this could mirror Big E leaving the group, similar to how The Rascalz left Wes Lee.
The fan’s tweet caught the attention of Lee. The former NXT North American Champion delivered a positive response via his X. Wes Lee stated that fans would not be ready to take in his induction as a New Day member, stating, “Yall wouldn’t be ready for that.”
Wes Lee’s statement could have a lot of truth. The fans would have a difficult time accepting anyone but Big E as part of The New Day trio. However, Woods and Kingston stand firm in their actions. With the duo rejecting Big E’s plea to return, it will be interesting to see them unleash a more aggressive and never-before-seen side of them as a tag team.
