WWE star Big Show did a Q&A at the comic con event in Sacramento during WWE Money in the Bank weekend, and you can watch the Q&A below.

During the appearance, Show admitted he once told Kofi Kingston not to do the New Day gimmick because he felt it would kill Kingston’s career.

Later I had to go to Xavier, Kofi and Big E and said, ‘OK, what I said two weeks ago… completely disregard it.'”

I mean, Show had a point. The OG New Day gimmick could've railroaded all three of their careers had they not changed it up.
Have they ever said what the original plan was?

At one point they seemed to be on some militant shyt which had us going :gladbron:, then they came back on some religious shyt singing in vignettes.

can't lie even though new day is one of the hottest acts in the entire company, i still don't believe this has truly been the peak of kofi's career. i can't recall a single memorable or lasting moment, just a sea of comedy sketches.

he didn't exactly soar during his solo run, and yes it became real stale after all that time... but for awhile he really excelled in that spot and no matter what he always remained a fan favorite.
