WWE SmackDown LIVE: April 9, 2019 Discussion Thread

I'd be all for that too, it's almost refreshing to see guys go against the grain and just be friends but I still feel like it's coming. I'd prefer them not to rush it tho and build it for later and then maybe have Big E take the belt from him. IDK where that leaves Xavier tho bc I don't really want him siding with E but him being Kofi's lackey would be meh too. It's a shame bc he's been impressing me more this last year or so and isn't just "the third New Day guy" anymore.

Freebirds didn't turn on eachother....the New Day shouldn't either doot doot doot

I mean they have obviously planted the seed for the heel turn if they wanna do it esp given they actually helped get him the title shot by winning I just don't want any part of it. I'm not against a storyline where a heel tries to pit them against each other some way but ultimately fails just to show how strong of a bond they have but pulling the trigger I'm totally against it and in part cause I don't think it will be done right as far as how they will handle Big- E and Xavier after the feud would be over.

That's what I was thinking as well. Right after Big E and Xavier had to "earn" a shot for Kofi, Big E would use it against him.

Yeah, I also worry about E after the split. If I knew for sure this would make both E and Kofi, I'd be all for it, though.

Think E is very capable of doing great on his own but I just have a feeling they would drop the ball with it. With the way New Day is and has been they'll always be relevant in some kind of way. They have a very good spot on the show whether they're on Raw or Smackdown and you can tell they legit have fun working with each other.

Wouldn't be opposed to KO coming out to celebrate with Kofi and apron bombing him like he did Sami after his NXT title win tbh, face KO been alright so far but I doubt it'll last long.

With Sami turning again on Raw, I think it would be a predictable play, but also the way to go.

Idk how Ali would do as a heel but if anyone has the most motive to turn heel it is him since Kofi's push wouldn't have even happened had he not got hurt.

I think one way or the other if they remain on Tuesday nights, New Day will dominate SmackDown for a while. Hopefully, even if they turn E, they can continue to have fun working with each other. My only question is what does Xavier do? Does he get in the middle, or does he get sent somewhere else? Maybe Xavier is sent to 205 Live (or Raw) in the draft?

I love him but he just seems so natural as a babyface so idk...also looked like he died in the battle royal at 'Mania so I hope he's okay

I can see a "you stole my spot and my Mania" speech and maybe a shirt.

Wait....Sami Zayn was heel before his injury.

He was, but there's always a babyface pop when someone returns and he kinda leaned on turning babyface and instead confirmed he was a heel.

 

[Cwalker]

Stupidest thing. Ever would be splitting New Day. Too much money in them as a unit

Woods has been on record stating that if New Day broke up; he’d call it quits.

That would be crazy. I wonder if he'd actually follow through with it.

Smart cause he'd def be the one shafted if they did I wonder how much WWE rates all the video game stuff he does to take his opinion on things like that more seriously or not bc he's not a big enough star normally for it imo
