First and foremost if you don't listen to the New Day podcast you should, it is insightful and they tell you the struggle they had to go through to "make it" and they really don't pull back punches including digging on "he who shall not be named" (Vince) multiple times a show
But yeah one thing they talked about recently was the realization they were getting somewhere. When they started to be able to pitch ideas to the writers and have their own input in promos, they knew they made it when it was told Vince looked at the promo and said something to the effect of I don't get it but it works so let them do it
It took them almost two years as a group to finally get that trust. Xavier also talks about how they the trombone with him asking for it and Vince enjoyed it so much that he told to always have it with him every week

I really enjoyed the story of how it took them to gain trust and how hard they were grinding to become what they are today. They're a great example of guys who, when given the opportunity, just made everything work. Even Kofi's line about him randomly saying that he hates country and it not being his character was received well. They just got it.

When Vince turned The New Day on the "Preachers" Gimmick he was supposedly REALLY big on it as faces, New Day basically took over and made it work on their own.I'm sure that must have influenced Vince's trust on then,they proved him right and wrong at same time.

They talked about that Vince genuinely thought it was going to get them over and they were getting booed out the building for 4 months before a stroke of luck on the international tour that allowed them to start working heel after they basically went to Vince and said we want to be heels as this isn't getting over as they been on him for months at that point Vince said okay and Xavier even said listen if I can't get Kofi booed in 4 weeks I don't deserve my job and you can fire me Those dudes had to work hard to get there. Everything from merch laughing at them and talent as well, it is crazy
