I worry that some form of Big E, Kofi, and/or Xavier vs. Slater, Titus and/or Axel will be a match that gets run into the ground a lot

I'm torn on it. It looks absolutely stupid, but the New Nation thing's dumb too and I'm not sure which is more likely to wind up being (accidentally?) incredibly racist.

Okay, I'm 20 seconds into the clip and already I hate them more than I've hated anything ever.

Well, not debuting on RAW is a great sign...

I thought they were going to be heels.
Based on that first match, I'm not sure what exactly this gimmick is supposed to be. No harm giving it some time though.

I don't know. I honestly just don't know. There isn't much that's overly cringe-worthy, but it's a foreboding feeling.

Okay, I'm 20 seconds into the clip and already I hate them more than I've hated anything ever. Kofi seems exactly the same happy-go-smiley character he been for 10 years now, Xavier Woods is the most punchable person in the WWE, and now I hate Big E simply by association. The big question is, will there be ANY character development? Ever? I really really doubt it.

Looks less like New Nation and more like New 3 Count judging by the entrance.
Other than that, I'm happy that they might be getting something resembling a push for a little while. Beats being Rusev fodder.

Yeah, it did seem a bit accidentally racist. They are a walking trope.
That said, a day before the debut of the Age of the Fall in ROH, Jimmy Jacobs returns as the happy emo kid with Lacey on his arm, and the next night, he was splattered in Jay Briscoe's blood. So you never know.

I don't know why everyone expected an inversion or some angry black man BS. They are 3 dudes who are good friends and like to have fun, which can invariably lead to entertaining television similar to what we have seen them do on the WWE App. What's wrong with that?

I hate them. Clearly this faction is not for me.
I have no problem with each guy individually, but together doing.... This, ugh.

That it isn't 1995 any more? They just want to have fun, they love making a difference *McMahon Yugh-ga-ha-haha laugh*

I'd just like to know what I'm supposed to be offended by. I'm scared of saying I like these guys in case I'm cast as a damn racist for doing so, because I'm not.

Yeah, I can see where it might be potentially racist, as opposed to "disgruntled black guys mad at the system". Nothing about that gimmick played into racial stereotypes. Seriously, though, there was no doing it that way. For starters, having them be heels would be... a bad idea right now, if they did do that gimmick. Beyond that, you need one of two things: they either need to be largely wrong in crying foul, or they need to enact actual change. I don't think either would happen. People may not like them doing this, but your alternative is them doing absolutely nothing, just about.
