WWE has gone through some major changes over the last year or so as Vince McMahon retired, a new regime took over, and recently Vince McMahon returned to the company to pursue a sale.
Everything changes over time, and it looks like the backstage atmosphere in WWE is a little different nowadays. Kofi Kingston recently spoke to TVInsider.com about the current climate backstage and he said that he feels things are changing for the better.
“There is so much change going on [in WWE]. I think a lot of it is for the better. People are willing to help. We realize the industry is dependent on us. Providing information to the people that come after us. That is what we try to do as New Day. We are willing to help teams out. Helping them get established and get them over. We want to make them comfortable. It’s weird to be in that role, but a role I take seriously.”
The New Day have been working in NXT as of late and they managed to defeat Pretty Deadly to become the NXT Tag Team Champions. Kingston also shared his thoughts on the team and explained why Pretty Deadly reminds him of The New Day.
“They are awesome. We always joke that they kind of remind us of a young New Day because of their bond, their outfits, and their antics. They are not afraid to try new things and be themselves with full confidence and arrogance. They love to get under people’s skin, which is awesome. You crave that as a WWE superstar. Being able to get a reaction.”
