The New Day are known for their outrageous (and hilarious) antics. Whether it is talking about BOOTY-O’s cereal, playing the trombone or dancing provocatively, they are always entertaining the crowd. With all the freedom they have on-screen with their antics, it makes you think that they are loved by WWE CEO, Vince McMahon. In a recent interview on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, Big E spoke about Vince loving the New Day and the only time they got in trouble with the boss.
Big E on Vince McMahon loving the New Day and their antics:
“I can’t remember the first thing that was said, but the cool thing is Vince loves the nonsense. We always get reports that, like, we’ll have a writer or someone in Gorilla and they’ll tell us that Vince is doubled over laughing. He loves the nonsense and that’s really cool” (Source: Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, H/T WrestlingInc).’
The image of Vince McMahon killing himself backstage when watching the New Day talking about Booty-O Cereal is forever entrenched in my brain. LOL.
Big E on the only time they have gotten in trouble with Vince backstage:
“I love being subversive and I really like seeing where the line is, but, no, we haven’t gotten in trouble at all. I think the only time Vince has ever pulled us aside and said, ‘hey, pull it back a little bit’ is when Woods went through a table, the Dudleyz put him through a table, and he did the old school D-Von sell and I didn’t realize how bad it was until I watched it back and Vince had every right to pull [Woods] aside because it was ridiculous!” (Source: Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, H/T WrestlingInc).
I really like that the New Day seems to have so much creative freedom. I think the best gimmicks are where talent isn’t micromanaged by Vince and they are just allowed to go out and have some fun!
Gotta love the New Day. They are so OVER with the crowd at the moment. Hopefully they wrestle Enzo & Cass at Payback and turn it into something epic.
