Free-bird rule coming back?

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

There has been reports that the Free-bird rule may be coming back.. it would be used with The New Day.. basically what it is if you don't know already is that if there is a team of 3 people that any 2 of those 3 could represent the titles on any given night..

Personally I think this rule should stay away from coming back.. to me it makes no sense, I mean the two guys who actually WIN the match should be the ones who hold the straps.. the 3rd guy shouldn't be able to ride their coattails IMO..

What do you guys think about the potential return of this rule in regards to The New Day?​

I wouldn't mind it, honestly. I think it's better especially when the 3rd guy isn't going to do anything if they don't apply the rule besides cheer in every match. Don't think we have to worry about it because why would they put the belt on the New Day? I think the guys have potential but this gimmick is not working. They normally get 0 reaction. But, I guess given that it's possible they'll just put the belts on them anyway :dawg:

Every show I've seen with them on the only thing I hear are "NEW.. DAY!" chants.. they're not as loud as normal pops but it's still the only thing I hear.

Really? Maybe I'm off here, granted I skip some stuff but I can only remember them coming out, clapping and maybe one guy in the audience reacting. But even if they do get to win the tag belts this doesn't seem like something they'd go with in this current day and age, especially given it wasn't originated in the WWE.

Maybe I'm overlooking some shows.. the RAW I was at and SD & RAW I believe it was two weeks ago they were getting a nice "NEW DAY!" chant reaction.

I don't mind it, so whatever...

I actually remember speculating on here back in early 2013 as to whether they might resurrect the Free-Bird rule for The Shield or not, should they ever win the Tag Team Championships. I think it would have worked brilliantly with them because they were booked as a dominant trio who just ran roughshod over everybody for months, whereas with New Day, they're, well, nobodies. I don't mean that all three guys aren't talented in their own way because they are, just that their gimmick sucks and it's more than likely that they'll never win the tag titles at all. And even if they do, they won't be keeping them long enough for them to even make good use of the rule anyway.

Heel rule brought back for face team? Yeah, Vince would do that

I completely thought they would've done it with the Shield.. I guess when Dean had the US Titel it didn't make sense for them to do that at that point.

Use this to turn Kofi Heel.

 

[Wacokid27]

I think they'll bring it back to turn the New Day heel.

This has always been a faction that I thought was designed to be heel in the long run (if they're intended to be a babyface team long-term, they've picked a really stupid gimmick to do it with....of course, WWE gonna WWE) and they could bring back the rule to lead them into a heel run.

This. This. So much this. ^

I've wanted The New Day as a heel stable from the get-go, so if they're gonna run with it in the near future, so be it.

Every sign's been pointing at a fatal four-way match for the tag titles at Mania, so if the free-bird rule's coming back shortly after Mania and The New Day wins the titles, then cool, I'd have no problem with TK & Cesaro losing the titles.

I never remembered seeing this rule, it would be interesting, I mean its like a 6-man tag title (which could of worked well last year) but only New Day and Los Matadores would use it, for they are the only teams of 3 right now.

Technically, Los Matadores wouldn't really be able to use it, seeing as how they're two and a half men group. :

I think El Torito earned his right as a full superstar
