I just laughed, especially since Xavier joked about the New Nation meme on Twitter.
I'm honestly just delighted that Kofi's doing something new, finally, and that Big E has something at all to be doing.

We need a sell-out, Uncle Tom to go against them.
I say we get Tyson Kidd and no one acknowledges he isn't black.

Woods commented on Big E and Kofi about 3 weeks ago on the App during RAW. This wasn't a shock move out of nowhere but I don't think anyone but myself watches the App stuff so it seems to have shocked everyone.

c'mon,maybe it is not about color,they are just 3 guys in a heel stable,and they all happen to be afro-american. Honestly, I'd like that to be true. Certainly, nobody would think anything of a stable with three white guys... But, I will just have to take satisfaction in the fact that the Rock and Mark Henry were able to get past the original Nation, so these guys may just be able to make something of the New Nation (especially given that all three are quite talented).

This wasn't a shock move out of nowhere but I don't think anyone but myself watches the App stuff so it seems to have shocked everyone. They actually put this together quite organically. Having Big E and Kingston do the whole shared feud team, actually emphasizing their teamwork in the battle royal, a hidden/obscure promo from Woods about them? That's a good little build for a midcard stable.

I'm all for app-exclusive stuff, but at least 75% of the stuff on the app needs to be on TV. Character development should be an essential part of the TV product for all the roster.

I want them to go all the way
The old Nation theme, the black outfits, the red/yellow/green colours, the fists, etc....

I refuse to call them New Nation until/unless they're referred to as such. Until that moment Comes, they're just "three black guys".

I'm failing to get excited for this stable. We have Kofi who is my least favourite guy on the roster. Xavier wo has won like, one match and Big E who manages to be even more boring than Big Zeke was.
If they add heel R-Truth to it, it may pique my interest. But for now, it's three of the dullest, most forgettable and most boring guys on the roster teaming up.

While I thought about my Rusev theory, I kept wondering, "Where does Lana fit in?", but the answer isn't that far-fetched.
In a past life, Lana was a "Cowgirl", part of a group of Florida State football students and superfans. Florida State has a rich football tradition, and one of their greats was guy named Ron Simmons, who we know as Faarooq. Faarooq formed a stable in 1996 known as the Nation of Domination. Lana, being a big Ron Simmons fan, lamented the dissolution of the Nation as well and hoped to get signed by the WWE to somehow put a plan into motion. Luckily, Rusev was already with the company, and Lana heard through the grapevine that Rusev was a huge fan of the Nation back in the day- so she scouts him and, due to their common goal, they join up and decide to make their dream come to life. It had to be succinct- they form a Ivan and Ludmilla Drago-like pair, and Rusev decides that, when squashing opponents, several of them in succession have to be black for a movement to naturally rise. Again, it's all for people to think that Rusev hates black people and that the idea of him wanting a new Nation is the farthest thing from their minds. The Russian gimmick is a natural diversion to get on TV- both Rusev and Lana spent plenty of time in the Russian bloc at a younger age- Rusev in Bulgaria, Lana in Latvia. Also, this common link of the Nation leads to a real relationship.
In short, Rusev and Lana are not Russian fanatics, they're Nation of Domination fanatics.
And no, I am not Russo.

Ok as it stands right now: Woods/Clarence Mason Big E/Mark Henry Kofi/Farooq
They need a new face, someone fresh, someone new, someone that oozes charisma, someone that is rumored to sign with the wwe real soon....
Willie Mack/The Rock

I don't know if this is related, but I noticed Big E's new ring attire is blue with red and yellow accents. So he is a Nogger.

I'm just glad Woods is doing something other than losing... He's good in the ring and great on the mic. He just needs more to do.

I believe the ultimate question that needs to be answered is this:
Who will play the role of Ahmed Johnson and feud with the New Nation?
