New Day needs to switch things up a bit

[Deleted]

Their overall personas, their matches, all that stuff is still good, and I am definitely still a fan of everyone in the group and the group as a whole. But, the promos are getting rough. Tonight, they flat-out bombed, even before Jericho came out.

I think they're falling into a trap that so many entertaining acts across the media spectrum do: they start to think anything that entertains them is also entertaining to the audience, start to buy into their hype a little bit.

I know that criticizing New Day seems very, very sour, and that Big E would be disappointed in me. But, I like to keep it level, I can't praise everything my favorites do and hate everything my not-favorites do. Besides Jack Swagger.

They just need to not doing sucky promos like last night.

They also need to be a bit more dangerous. They are a credible threat, act like it.

I can't believe they are still using the trombone. Give it a rest, it's not unique anymore

Gotta be careful, though. Last time they acted like a legit dangerous threat, people were worried they were about to abandon the gimmick and become SRS.

It's time to let Xavier handle the goofy stuff while Big E refines his "Horny Creeper" persona and Kofi works more of his "I'm not even in character, y'all" asshole mic work.

Isn't the whole point that they are supposed to be annoying and not that funny? Or at least think they are being funny but they aren't?

They're heels and they've clearly been holding back recently. They're doing this to be great heels. It's like Xavier calling Bloodborne the worst game of the year when it's arguably the best. They're trying to be hated. It's also why their social media comments are far better than on screen. Jus check when Big E said about Jericho after last night. Had they not been holding back they would have torn his ass up.

I think it's more wwe slowly realizing they are one of the few things people will tune in for so now they are being over exposed.

i love new day. i like my wrestling fun and they make wrestling fun for me.

Meanwhile, their Smackdown promo video on WWE's Twitter yesterday.............gold.

Are they better in small doses? And are they writing their own promos or do the writers still have some influence there?
