Kofi needs to ditch New Day if he's going to be taken seriously...

Seriously.

People are obsessed with breaking up the New Day and I don't understand it. They've built their entire brand around the three of them as a unit. Kofi himself said he wouldn't even be world champion without Woods and E coming to him to create the group, and there isn't a single case you could make that he's wrong in that statement.

On their own, Woods, E, and Kofi were three midcard acts who had all reached their ceiling and in the case of the former two, were about two seconds from losing their jobs. As a group, they're the longest reigning tag team champions, one of the highest merch sellers in the company, have launched a successful youtube channel, done video game tie-ins, are ambassadors for WWE's brand, now have a WWE Champion in their ranks, and are certified Hall of Famers whenever they hang it up. Yet, for whatever reason, folk in TSC think they should risk fukking their money up by doing "tired team break up storyline #3456" just when they've busted through the glass ceiling and have potentially opened new doors for themselves and revitalized their brand. I truly don't get it.
You're talking about creating a legendary team, I'm talking about creating a legendary superstar. :hubie:Kofi is not going to be a legendary superstar if he sticks with New Day or at least continues to be co-equal with Big E and Xavier. :yeshrug:

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. People are always going to remember Kofi Kingston, especially after Sunday. The fact is, however, that the New Day have proven more lucrative as a unit than separately. That's not to say they couldn't be successful on their own, but why risk it? Especially knowing how Black wrestlers are treated in this company. There's a reason they always respond to questions about breaking up by saying they'll retire right after. They've built a brand that's paying dividends for them and have all been in the game long enough to know going solo probably isn't going to work out as well for them.

You may think being a legendary team is a lesser status, and you're entitled to that. However, at this point, I think it's safe to say they don't agree and I can't find any reasons they should change their minds.

No New Day MUST stay. If anything you make him what HBK was to the original DX.

I agree with this - they shouldn’t need to break up for Kofi or Big E to be main event/uppercard contenders. They should be a dominate stable running shyt like groups/stables did in the past. I do think kofi needs to speak more though.

Exactly. Makes zero sense. What in the "turn Ric Flair into Spartacus" kinda shyt is that...

If people don't wanna see 'em break up completely, they want 'em to drop their entire act which draws money and has made them as popular as they are today... why? When has dropping the gimmick that made you a top star in the first place ever worked for anyone? I could probably count em on one hand.

HHH had to drop the DX shyt (which was arguably more popular than New Day) and turn into the Game to become a serious superstar. This is like HBK still sticking with the Rockers gimmick as WWF champion.:why:

What kind of revisionist history nonsense is this ? :mjlol: He didn't drop DX at all, they were still very much involved and combined with the Mcmahon's
