Shortly after Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods formed The New Day, it soon became apparent that the WWE Universe was not going to cheer for the Superstars in the way that was initially planned.
Kingston recalled that, one night after WrestleMania 31, all three men had a meeting with McMahon, who told them that he thought the babyface preacher gimmick was going to be a success.
Xavier Woods added that McMahon had “genuine pain” on his face while the conversation took place, and the WWE Chairman ultimately decided to let them turn heel in April 2015 after a five-month struggle to get fans to cheer for them.
One of The New Day’s former on-screen rivals, Fred Rosser (fka Darren Young), joined Sportskeeda’s Korey Gunz to discuss his time with WWE, including his experience at WrestleMania 30, in the latest episode of The Rosser Rewind. Check it out below!
