I think they were purposely corny af in the beginning to set up a turn. I don't think even Vince racist ass thought that gimmick would get over in 2016

That's what I thought, but New Day themselves said Vince was sure they were gonna get over back then.

Some people do okay by themselves and some do GREAT as an individual.
These guys are talented, but let's be honest, when you're a minority, you're not given a fair chance in this company. It's just the way it is. Also, I know I might catch heat for this, but these guys are great, don't get me wrong, but I don't think they have main event potential as singles competitors.

Especially Xavier, due to his height and being a former TNA star. Vince would NEVER let him sniff the main event scene.

It added a couple of years to Kofi run. He'd be nearing the end like Ziggler and Swagger otherwise. It completely saved Xavier and likely detonated Big E's
Dolph could be saved. If the WWE was serious about pushing him

When did New Day even switch up the gimmick?

All I know is all I saw this during Survivor Series 2014


and then I started watching in the last few months and I see them as champions, all wearing unicorn horns, Xavier's got a trombone, and they all got jokes.

Where did the unicorn horns and the trombone debut?

It happened gradually when they started their heel turn. They basically started joking about their opponents which lead to trolling which lead to all this other shyt.

And this is still the highlight of their run.



Alongside the segments they did with Seth, especially when Xavier returned.

Dem constant face/heel turns :wow:

  • He was a face against a heel Hogan in their World title match.
  • Giant turns heel and joins the nWo weeks after losing the World title to Hogan. August of '96.

  • 3 months later (Right after WrestleMania 2000) he turns face when he starts these impersonations of wrestlers.

  • Big Show beats Jericho (captain of Team Smackdown) to earn a spot on Team Raw. Face tease. October 2009. *Weeks later Team Smackdown beat Team Raw at Bragging Rights due to Big Show turning on Team Raw.

  • April 2010 Big Show punches out Miz and turns face.

  • The Big Show was drafted to the Smackdown brand (he turned face and made pals with SmackDown general manager Theodore Long)

  • May 21, 2012 Big Show returns as a heel due to receiving John Laurinaitis' ironclad contract after Laurinaitis had previously fired him, and knocks out John Cena

  • March 9, 2013 (face turn) Big Show helped Randy Orton and Sheamus against the Shield.

  • At WrestleMania 29, Big Show, Sheamus, and Randy Orton lost to the Shield when Orton was pinned after stealing a hot tag from Big Show. After the match, a frustrated Big Show knocked out Orton and Sheamus for repeatedly refusing to tag him in the match.

  • August 12, 2013 (face turn) Big Show returns from some time off to help Mark Henry and Rob Van Dam fend off a Shield attack

  • October 6, 2013 after crying a lot from doing the McMahons' bidding to faces, he KOs Daniel Bryan in the main event of the Battleground PPV, a few minutes later he also KOs Randy Orton as the show goes off the air
