Former WWE Champion gives honest thoughts on why The New Day were booed at first

The iconic group weren't always fan favourites in WWE WWE Superstar and New Day member has shared his honest thoughts on why fans didn't like the faction at first. Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E have been members of the group since 2014. In this time, they have amassed eleven separate reigns with the Tag Team Championships. They became the longest reigning tag team champions in the company's history back in 2016, and are also among WWE's biggest merchandise sellers. Back in 2014 when the group first debuted, they were gospel-inspired characters who would clap and encourage positivity. Kofi Kingston suggested, during a recent interview with , that was the reason the WWE Universe took to booing the group so heavily following their debut: "We weren't booed in the first, like, month because everyone was happy to see us doing something significant. Until they realized no one goes to a WWE show to go to church. And then they were like 'wait a minute, we don't like you, as a matter of fact, you suck,'" said Kingston. (14:34 - 14:49) The group would turn heel shortly after in 2015, and would begin New Day's meteoric rise to the top of WWE's tag division.
