The once-united trio of The New Day, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, has broken its holy bond and turned on its longtime teammate Big E, sending ripples of suprisewaves throughout the world of professional wrestling. The unexpected betrayal has left fans reeling, and the question on everyone’s lips is: what led to this drastic and dramatic shift in dynamics?

It is clear that the seeds of discontent were sown long ago, and the tensions within the group were simmering beneath the surface, waiting to boil over. The duo pointed out that Big E’s absence during their most trying times was a significant factor in their growing mistrust. By not being present and supportive during these critical moments, Big E inadvertently created a void that Xavier and Kofi were left to fill on their own. This lack of support was perceived as a betrayal, and the duo made it clear that E’s inaction played a significant role in their growing anger and resentment.

But it wasn’t just Big E’s absence that fueled their discontent. Kofi and Xavier also took issue with what they perceived as Big E’s selfish and self-absorbed attitude. They felt that E was more concerned with his own interests and personal life than with the well-being of the group. Xavier and Kofi went so far as to suggest that E’s recent WWE Title reign was solely due to their unwavering support, implying that he only succeeded because of their efforts. This perceived self-centeredness only added fuel to the fire, solidifying their decision to turn on Big E.

Moreover, the group’s internal issues were left unresolved, and Big E’s newfound focus on a romantic relationship did little to quell the growing tensions. Xavier and Kofi felt that E was abandoning his responsibilities as a member of the group, a perception that only exacerbated their anger and frustration.

At the heart of the matter, however, was likely WWE’s creative direction. The duo’s bitter words towards Big E did little to win over the crowd, with fans largely siding with the wronged superstar. Chief Creative Officer Triple H has seemingly aimed to make the storyline more personal by centering the betrayal around the strained relationship between the three members. This move effectively highlights their frustration with Big E’s absence when they needed him most, making their heel turn a more convincing and justified plot twist.

As the dust settles, the question on everyone’s mind is what the future holds for The New Day. Will the group be able to repair its fractured bond and get back to its usual antics, or has the damage been irreparable? Only time will tell, but for now, the supriseing turn of events has sent suprisewaves throughout the wrestling world, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what’s next for this once-unbreakable trio.
