Honestly, i don’t think New Day should turn on eachother because I remember a few years ago when they were fueding with the shield, they were talking about how they stuck as a unit while the shield would betray eachother. If they have to be separated, use the brand split as an excuse. Swap E to Raw or switch Kofi for Seth

I mean, I kind of see both sides of it.
I understand respecting their wishes and keeping them happy.
But I also can see how some might find it limiting that all 3 will always have to be the same alignment at the same time.
Big E's act and Xavier's act are easy to turn heel (Ramp up Big E's "Sexual Creeper" schtick, and Xavier's "Loud, Obnoxious Geek who NEVER shuts up" qualities), but I have to admit, I don't think I want to see Kofi turn back into his "Real Talk fam, y'all a bunch of shit people." form.
....but in saying that, it also makes me realize that he hasn't really developed a "defining characteristic" as a babyface. His story here was "The Guy who comes into work every day and quietly busts his ass, but never gets promoted because he's not the Squeaky Wheel" (And Also, Vince kinda/sorta doesn't want a Black Champion, but can't bring himself to admit it).
I think that before they turn Kofi, he's got to evolve a little bit into somebody who speaks up more, somebody who takes a bit more control of his own destiny.

If it's his meniscus it must be serious. That is the one they usually just slap one of those braces on and move on. He is a power guy though and does need his knees so getting it repaired may be best.

Big E can never turn heel. The guy has too much charisma. I can see him being a diabolical larger-than-life Batman villain heel with all that charisma. Has to be extreme though, just the most obnoxiously antagonistic bastard on the roster. For some reason the instant thought I had was Big E as the Penguin, then I thought of Danny DeVito and now want Big E to have a Frank Reynolds gimmick when he turns heel and just be a gross lunatic weirdo.

I understand them not wanting to break up but the math does change a bit if the breakup means Biggie gets the world title from Kofi or something similar.
That is much different than splitting RUsev and Aiden for a nothing match.

Kofi responds to the "New Day should break up" comments and pretty much said 99% of the stuff I said in this thread.

Especially lately he seems to really be showing he can do it all now that he's getting to show his serious side more. I really like that New Day are insistent on sticking together, we see breakups so many times that just to see a group that stays friends throughout is almost uncharted territory as far as wrestling stories go. Kofi's storyline wouldn't be nearly the same without New Day as his hypemen.

Honestly I find myself pretty doubtful that Big E breaking away from New Day would work out well for him. It might - I think best chance of that happening would be him winning Money in the Bank then cashing in on Kofi - but the issue is that Kofi we already know can be super over without New Day while Xavier is largely the one the group was born out of. Big E's the one who it's easiest to argue actually needs the group because he's never really been on the radar without it, heel or face.

Big E's best chance is Kofi and Xavier letting him try a solo stunt out through the group pushing him like they pushed Kofi. They can be behind him the entire way. Say they're feuding with someone and they need a third man and Big E returns. Say that guy is a power guy on the other team they can't beat him but Big E ends up being the guy to stop him. You can then use that momentum for Big E culminating to him winning the world title. It's pretty easy. It just can't happen if he breaks away from the group because at that point we're not seeing it as "Big E's great enough to be a single's star wow he's awesome" we're looking at it as "Big E turned on New Day." We're more focused on the turn rather than Big E establishing himself.
You gotta let him establish himself in the group and he hasn't done that well enough to justify a solo run with all the stars on the roster today. Kofi has been established so he just needed a great angle.

If they have to be separated, use the brand split as an excuse. Swap E to Raw or switch Kofi for Seth So how about this, then? It's already established that Seth Rollins is friends with New Day (on and off screen). The brand split results in Kofi being on one show and Seth being on the other with Big E and Xavier. Things are fine for awhile until Big E. challenges Seth for the Universal Championship. He could either turn heel or make it a friendly match among friends. He eventually turns heel (possibly after losing the first match). Meanwhile, he's still cool with Kofi, who doesn't condone his actions. Then we go from there.
