...but will they ever move up the card, at least individual members, and become top superstars?
Yes they're dominating the tag team division, but could Big E, for example, become a top guy? Could the New Day become more serious ala The Shield?
Or have they found their niche as a comedy tag team act, and that's where they shall remain?

Big E was Vince's original choice for the push Reigns is getting now, so I'd say at the very least when the group breaks up he's going to be pushed to the moon.
Kofi I'd say would probably also do well now that he's demonstrated range as a performer and promo skills, could easily see him being at least a fringe main-eventer in the Kane / Jericho way. Xavier probably has a job for life as a weaselly comedy heel / manager.

If they're over and successful in the tag division, I'd keep them IN the tag division until I have a top team ready to take their place and I have plans for them in singles.
Part of me feels like this is how we end up with midcard divisions nobody cares about... Because any time anyone gets any momentum and popularity happening in them, some start wanting them moved out of there and into main event singles.

I would love to see Big E become a top guy, though I'm not sure if the goofy (but awesome) New Day act and attire could prohibit that

No
Keep them where they are. If they went any higher, they'd be repackaged with shittier gimmicks, given terrible promo material written by Vince, and would end up doing nothing of value.

They need to still be dominant in the tag division when Enzo & Cass, American Alpha, Dash & Dawson etc get moved up to the main roster. Tag team wrestling needs to be a strength in the WWE, and New Day should be the centrepiece of the division. I hate the fact that it's just accepted now that tag teams will inevitably break up. There's no need for it. Singles stardom shouldn't be seen as the be all and end all.

Kofi definitely could at this point if his moveset gets more impactful.
He's found that "No, this is for real" voice full of disdain and misanthropy where he could start seriously tearing guys down on the mic, Punk/Owens style.
Big E? I used to think so, but I'm starting to feel like he's taken the whole "sexual creeper" thing too far. Dude makes me legit uncomfortable now.

No. No matter how much I'd LOVE for that to happen, comedy guys don't become main eventers. They're geeks for life.
Main eventers can become Comedy guys, but not the other way around.

Kofi should have won the Rumble by now or MiTB and had a successful cash in.

We are not even a year into their existence, are we? What's the rush for them to start doing other things when the act isn't getting stale yet?

Big E yes. The other two, no.

To me they are all sick freaks, Kofi with his air humping, Woods with his Trombone love and Big E being Big E, Uncle & Daddy.

What about Edge? Oh, yeah - I hadn't thought about Edge. He might be the exception that proofs the rule. So I'll amend. The vast majority of the time, comedy guys don't become main eventers.

They desperately need new foes to battle with, both in the ring and on the mic.
The problem is how do you elevate Enzo and Cass straight into the tag title scene as soon as they come up? It'll be Paige-syndrome all over again, reached the top of the mountain at the first attempt.
I would honestly love to see them feud against Y2AJ next

I'd say all three have potential to be huge. Especially Kofi,Man, guys been busting his ass for years.

Not if they can't get past the booty thing.
