WWE Star Says WWE Has Talked About Breaking Up Major Faction

The New Day has become one of the most successful factions in WWE history. Since the group’s inception in 2014, they have become eight-time tag team champions. However, how long can the group really last? Big E has an idea.

Big E revealed on the My Mom’s Basement podcast that WWE has had ideas of breaking up the group over the years. Needless to say, he is not a fan of the idea.

Here is the full quote, courtesy of Fightful:

“We’ve heard rumors in the past and had a conversation with a very important person who said, ‘Alright, this is the idea.’ But we’ve been adamant about [not breaking up]. I get why fans want a breakup. It’s something new. But if you look at the history of breakups, tell me one, besides The Shield — they were always designed to break into individual stars — I can’t think of a single break up that benefited all members. Rusev Day was so hot, getting great reactions on a nightly basis. They break up, Aiden turns on Rusev, and then Aiden is off TV two or three weeks later.

I don’t even think they had a big pay-per-view match. I don’t think Rusev’s career benefited from it either. The same thing about the Wyatt’s. The chances that all three of us would break up and have great runs, I find it to be very slim. Also, we’re having so much fun as a group. If you break us up, I’m going to go back to being serious? I’m going to turn on Kofi and now, what kind of dynamic do we have? I don’t see a feasible way to do it. We’ve only scratched the surface on what we can do. It’s a lazy fix to break us up.”

The group is currently the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions. Big E won the titles on behalf of his team in a triple threat match against The Miz and Jey Uso.
