How about Kofi getting the Rumble title match vs AJ? Not happening A shame, really. Even as good as their tag matches are, The New Day's conquered both brands' divisions and could use a new direction.

I've said before that you can still keep these guys together and have them go after individual titles. Kofi is not a challenger on his own against someone like AJ but with Xavier and Big E having his back at ringside that makes a big damn difference Same could go for Big E going after the WWE title or Xavier after the CW title

Wouldn't mind a one-off against Big E or maybe Shelton Benjamin. That would be fun.

Those AJ/KO matches suffered because of Shane and they want to do it again?

I would have thought this is just a short feud that gives AJ something to do before the run to mania (presumably to fight Nakamura) and also it furthers the whole Shane/Bryan/Owens/Sami story ( Shane screws Owens over at the rumble and Bryan snaps)

I know people give Nakamura a lot of flack for not delivering in the WWE on his past credibilities but damn K.O. is not too far behind and his 365 documentary really drove that point home. His list of memorable matches in WWE I could also count with two hands. He's still among the top guys in terms of promos, character, and getting legit heel heat though. That is true but Kevin's PPV matches with Sami, and at least his first match with Cena, are truly great. A lot of his matches with Neville are the same. There's his feud with Ambrose and the Last Man Standing bout. And his promo work is more than enough to compensate for weaker outings like you said. Nakamura doesn't have that. Sami should probably get more credit than he does as a worker, though.

When you are a Tag Team wrestler, you automatically move down many levels in Kayfabe, so you can 86 that idea about Kofi getting a title shot, although he SHOULD (as well as Big E especially)
It was the very reason none of the League Of Nations members wanted to be in that "stable"

I am way more concerned about Wrestlemania since the Rumble match sells itself.
Shinsuke winning would be a catastrophe. Lol. I would love if we get a Big E win if they keep the strap on AJ.
Right now the only credible Rumble winners are Cena and Reigns which isn't good TV no matter how you slice it.

I read that too and prefer that doesnt happen. Cena/Jinder would at least be better than an inevitable spot fest between Styles and Cena. Cena's been tough to watch lately either because he is piping it in or just doesn't take it as seriously. Him feuding with Jinder would have a much more compelling atmosphere to make up for that. Oh well. Its gonna be a six hour show, so this match doesn't really need to matter. Lol.

I didn't at all like their SummerSlam or Rumble matches but I like that idea waaaaaay more than Nakamura winning it. At least it sounds like a big time match will if they do Styles / Nakamura the end result of that is AJ being kicked down to at best like fifth in prominence on the card.

Would prefer they do Samoa Joe vs John Cena for the IC title at WM That would be an incredible match with an amazing storyline behind it as it involves 20 years of history between two good friends who trained together and came up the ranks of the industry in their respective promotions. Well, can't wait to see Joe defending his IC title in the pre-show and Cena doing something involving WWE's attempt for a celebrity pop.

That's a good call, and the Rumble is as good a time as any to experiment a bit with title matches since the Rumble match itself sells the show. Agreed with those saying Kofi or Big E would make for fun challengers to AJ and open the door to New Day getting some singles pushes (no reason to split them as a unit, just broaden their horizons), and see no reason why they couldn't let AJ work with guys like Rusev, just a match where the two people involved can put on a good show and the challenger can look strong and better off going forward even in defeat.

Those AJ/KO matches suffered because of Shane and they want to do it again? To the contrary, the matches with Shane were better than the ones pre-Shane, especially that Battleground fiasco. For whatever reason, these two don't mix well, at least right now. It reminds me of how CM Punk vs. Undertaker absolutely sucked ass as a feud in 2009, but when they matched up at Mania a few years later, it was tremendous. Maybe Owens and AJ just need to stay away from each other for a few years.
