Big E Reveals Former WWE Stars He Wanted To Recruit For The New Day

For years now The New Day have been one of the most successful groups in all of WWE, but not the trio is divided. Recently in the 2020 WWE Draft Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were moved to Monday Night Raw, while Big E remains on Friday Night SmackDown.

Over the last few months Big E has been pursuing a singles career, and it’s been reported that he’s in line for a big push on the blue brand.

Big E recently reflected on the group’s early days during an episode of the After The Bell podcast with Corey Graves, and he noted that at one point he wanted to add Alicia Fox and Damien Sandow to the group.

“Thinking back to 2014, we always thought we would be a group that would add more members. I remember thinking Alicia Fox being someone we wanted to add because at the time she was doing stuff with the tantrums. Her and [Damian] Sandow we thought would be a great addition. That was the idea; a group that would recruit. It would have been a lot of fun and I wish we got that incarnation of New Day. As grateful as I am that it went the way it did, I’m also kind of intrigued to see what it would have been like for us to have gone that militant route to see what we could have done. We shot so much stuff in pre-tapes and all the ideas we put together, I thought we had something really special and I was excited about that. Obviously, I think it worked out the best for what we did because I don’t think we would have been able to stay together for six years as a militant group.”

Do you think Damien Sandow and Alicia Fox would have been a good fit for The New Day? Sound off in the comments below.
