How Adam Would Book... Big E: WWE Champion

[@richardplatt5602]

I love this. The idea of a ‘New Day Civil War’ always seems like a missed opportunity in my head. Just have 3 friends who respect and love each other fight, and have them still be friends, it’s just a nice story.

[@ggvv6533]

Should have happened after kofimania

[@RC-qz8lp]

I remember back in the WhatCulture era when Adam pitched how the New Day should break up because "[he] thinks they're done." So seeing this booking now, one that celebrates the New Day's friendship and long years as a team is quite nice to see

[@DalekOfChaos666]

Adam's back to his Bischoff Jr look, so please do more How Adam would book WCW

[@scpjack7856]

We all miss Big E so much.

[@JoysticksJeff]

This is perfect, love it! New Day should never be separated and i agree having them together in singles runs is far more interesting than making them just like everyone else. Hope Big E is healthy enough to come back soon!

[@wingedparagon4448]

Agreed, listening to this booking touched my heart and I wish this would have happened.

[@Y2KSiv]

The New Day are historic because they are one of the first mid-card groups who got creative control and showed why they are more than ready to be main-event level talent... which is what they've become. They have been doing the same thing for years and the fact nobody turned on them or wants them to change shows how well they work. New Day is one of the goat factions, and when the Usos inevitably induct them as a group into the HoF (YEARS down the line hopefully), that speech will be fire

[@Drakorre]

Which js funny considering how hated they were

[@danielwisniewski6962]

And then the New Day induct The Usos haha

[@rickyjaypublico5381]

This may be a long shot, but I really hope Triple H completes the set and give Xavier Woods a world title run as well

[@bluebone1116]

I agree 100%

[@cwrisgood]

Why, Big E and Xavier Woods flopped as champion, I’m sick of the world title gold watch title reigns. The world champion should be the biggest economic draw. If everyone wins the world title, being the world champion doesn’t mean much.

[@frazerrobertson2]

​@@cwrisgood you mean kofi? Xavier woods hasn't won the gold yet

[@cwrisgood]

@@frazerrobertson2slip, but I think you understand my point. At the end of the day WWE is a business and Roman Reigns has proven how business can elevate when you have the right guy be the top guy. He’s elevated Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, the USO’s, Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes by mere association, even when he’s not around. Let’s imagine Sami won the title at elimination chamber. Can he elevate the people he works with and has elevated any of his for we opponents?

[@sm0keyd0key]

I think him winning KOTR was his moment. He wasn’t ever gonna be pushed to the world title but giving him KOTR was a nice way to complete the set

[@cristofer7518]

Damn dude! Someone please give this man a job as a storyline writer! We need more angles and storylines with thought and care behind them and Adam always delivers.

[@tforceraven]

They alrready stole his idea once 😉

[@VinnieDangerous]

Probably one of the best booking videos in awhile. Loved this

[@mikecollier4206]

This was lovely! I always wanted The New Day triple threat in Kofi's reign and then again in Big E's. I absolutely agree that they should not split up/one turn heel and this was a great way to do it. Sending positive vibes to Big E - you are sorely missed

[@chrishowell6469]

Yes! Loved this. I also love the idea of New Day v Judgement Day. After Mania. It's perfect. And just because we're having fun, instead of wasting MITB on Theory, give it to Woods. You can even have a failed cash in just to further the story of Woods being the weak link, but The New Day pulls him up and help him find a way to another shot. And at Summerslam, Woods beats Edge. He gets his run. It doesn't need to be long, but all three members, being WWE Champion, is just to perfect not to happen.

[@Bobsyagod]

or alternatively, given recent events, have LA knight win MiTB, cash in and continueing the banter Woods has already had with him, Woods goads him into a title match and wins in under 5 with the Back Woods rollup pin :P

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

I hope Big E can come back at some point. He's amazing and deserves so much more than what he's gotten in the last years.

[@bucks9662]

Adam you singlehandedly make me love wrestling again just like you did all those years ago. Also, you show just how great it can be when done right. Thank you!

[@MrDumpster2222]

Probably my favourite of Adam’s booking videos he’s ever done. This is just a fantastic, fulfilling and totally believable story. Loved it

[@enigmaskull3495]

If Xavier Woods ever wins the WWE Championship, he better watch out for Brock Lesnar. Considering how Brock ended the reigns of Kofi and Big E.

[@richborn6700]

And Bobby Lashley. It's like Vince uses Lesnar to white wash the title

[@PaddyFlatts]

@@richborn6700 Lesnar also won his first WWE Championship back in 2002 by defeating The Rock.

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

To be fair, that's literally a storyline waiting to be booked. Woods avenging his brothers.

[@Blazer1X]

Oh boy I was excited for this one, such a missed chance with Big E. (btw I'd love to see Adam rebook the Nightmare Collective stuff from AEW) :)

[@juansebastianpena1009]

Yeah, we need the "Adam would book CMFTR VS THE ELITE"

[@Ragan31687]

Oh yeah. I wanted to see Awesome Kong dominate in AEW.

[@ritchier3346]

I know he never will, but I really hope Woods gets a chance to complete the set one day. Every member of the new day are stars and Woods is no exception

[@swerve7552]

Totally thought this would be him booking WrestleMania

[@luisgabriel8238]

Me too

[@middy5284]

i hope we see him one more time. he’s definitely been missed.

[@jamesmaskell3743]

Yep, sadly it's a very long shot. Like Daniel Bryan or Edge long shot. He is still around doing stuff with UpUpDownDown, but yeah, it's not quite the same.

[@InvaderTim7]

I genuinely teared up at the end of that triple threat. Good job as always Adam.

[@dragonitematero]

I love it, this is one of my favorite Adam’s bookings ever, it just hit so many spots right that WWE really got wrong irl: -He made Big E win the title not by taking advantage of a weakened champion but by having cash in in advance (always feels like a more natural babyface thing to do) -He also had him win the title not on a random episode of RAW but on an actual PPV, plus he kept one of Big E’s best matches on his run irl, that being the Steel Cage match with Lashley -Speaking of which, he reunited The Hurt Business in an actual logical way that wasn’t just because Lashley needed some goons for his opponent to beat, plus they didn’t quietly break up again after a few weeks for no reason -We got some awesome matches and gang warfare in New Day vs. The Hurt Business and New Day vs. The Bloodline -Big E was book as a strong champion and, technically speaking at least, got a victory in a match against Roman (which if it had happen irl you know Roman would be livid at The Usos and would further develop the storyline with them) -I absolutely loved the story with Xavier and the tension in The New Day, even if I was sure they wouldn’t break up at the end (which is absolutely the right call), had this happened irl I feel would’ve gotten a major storyline for RAW heading to Wrestlemania which was desperately missing irl with the Lesnar/Reigns stuff happening mostly on Smackdown -Also that New Day Triple Threat would been a hell of a match to see, which adds to the overall card and would given us a great moment to see all three of them embracing at the end, what an awesome visual! -Plus of course Big E wouldn’t been injured and would still be around nowadays probably -Finally, he gave Edge that one final world title run he deserves, and kept him in his JD character which I thought had lots of potential but WWE randomly ejected him from his group for no reason Overall, great job Adam!

[@michaeld1889]

I hope Big E. gets to make a surprise return soon....God would it be amazing to see him again. Adult tears allllll around.

[@TMK561]

Now I’m gonna put the Jackhammer finisher on Big E now.

[@btyamashita]

the end of adam's booking got me a lil bit emotional, just thinking about what a moment that would be. i miss big E.

[@shawnmichaels568]

I was waiting for this one, He really should've held the title longer.

[@timevans5000]

This is probably one of the best Adam has done. Loved that Wrestlemania ending

[@pilgrimpez]

That scream after 'Big 'E'xtreme rules." sent me 💀🤣

[@Moon_Light2008]

glad to have another one been here since the first on the 'other channel'

[@nolan555]

I didn’t think I would care about this that much tbh but I absolutely loved this! And Big E using the Jackhammer!? Awesome!

[@matthewambrose1110]

I know it's been a while since you rebooked any wcw stuff, but i'd love to see you rebook the end of Goldberg's streak.

[@KINGPRXJ3CT]

Big E is a godsend and we all miss him. Whether or not he wrestles again, it's just relieving to see that he's okay.

[@thebloodline8683]

Was gonna watch some Wrestlemania predictions but this immediately became first priority

[@Quatrixjs1]

One of the better booking videos in a while . Hit all the right notes without going too far

[@matthewmercer927]

Throughout the chaos that is my life, this is the one constant that keeps me grounded. Thank you, Adam, for everything

[@garycabezas]

This was so good. Nicely done Adam! Hopefully HHH can correct this if/when Big E returns.

[@mycahjofficial]

*You should definitely do a rebooking of WrestleMania 32*

[@Lopez03Eduardo.]

He did do one back in his whatculture days he did how wwe should book wrestlemania 32 in two part vids

[@thomashester2]

That “who” moment is phenomenal

[@urbaindelva7869]

Some suggestions for later videos: Cesaro Muhammad Hassan The Riott Squad Liv Morgan as SD Women's Champion Ronda Rousey's Return Damage CTRL Asuka CM Punk as World Heavyweight Champion in 2008 The League of Nations (really want this one) Paige's Debut or Return Braun Strowman Ryback (really want this one, too)

[@Cyraxslayer666]

Omg this was so good 😭 woods is my favourite of the 3, I always chuckle when he’s on the mic. Him having doubts would be awesome.

[@nevenpatrk9661]

Adam's new hair be looking clean as hell.

[@brotherjorge3]

I’m not tearing up… I’m not tearing up… I’m not tearing up… This was beautiful.

[@zakarypembleton9666]

"This booking was f***ing choice." -F. Scott Fitzgerald

[@awm8414]

I can say, dude with get THE biggest pop on his return

[@Milksword]

I've never heard anyone pronounce 'trios' like Adam, I'm kind of all about it.

[@jacobsdaman384]

This is really well done! I really like the idea of the storyline revolving around the New Day throughout Big E’s title reign, and it culminating into a New Day triple threat at Mania 38. Not to mention, your booking of Edge (w/Judgement Day) defeating Big E for the title is the perfect end to his reign. A New Day Vs Judgement Day with Edge as the heel champion leader would’ve been great to see. I would really like to see your booking of Edge’s WWE championship reign after all of these events.

[@Bebopicarus]

This here is the universe I want to live in.

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

Imagine that, friends being friends and champions winning matches. But for real though, champions need to win matches as champion and stay relevant in the title picture after losing the title to be considered a top guy. It's insane that WWE screwed numerous guys over by booking them like dorks.

[@arthurzonatto4447]

At times like this, I wonder if anyone sends these booking videos to the superstars themselves. Would love to see Big E react to this! Also would love Adam booking William Regal's 2008 GM/King/WWE Champion run.

[@oversizedigloo]

YESSSS i almost FORGOT ABOUT HOW ADAM WOULD BOOK man what a month:)

[@thomasmuller1425]

This is really good. This way, it cements Big E as one of the top main eventers in the company. Btw, I think since you brought up Edge & Judgment Day, I think you should do that booking next after WrestleMania 39 this weekend.

[@reginaldboahene4830]

I just realized the whole “new day” day one thing. This is why I love Adam.

[@SeanOZone]

3:57 The New Day were that Rarity, a unicorn you might even say I see what you did there...😏

[@clarkejoseph49]

You should do how you would book Double or Nothing 2023 next.

[@mrao3124]

I miss him everyday

[@AlMoSiCe210]

Not this man making me fight back tears when he said "New Day Triple Theeat" 🥺

[@AnubisRazael]

Am I the only one worried that Evil Oli was going to show up when he said "what are you gonna do Oli?"

[@DarkEmoNinja]

9:42 missing a certain bald man slapping his head here

[@JonnyFoxx]

“You’re nothing to me…” Cracked me up. 😂

[@lazypaladin]

One of the rare occasions where Adam retcons an injury: _After that Booking, I'll let it slide. _*_Absolutely Stella!_*

[@The_Theodore_Roosevelt]

Big E’s reign made me sad, glad this was great mate!

[@markbarlow3275]

The power of positivity compels you!

[@thedman-zx1ip]

Still hoping for How Adam Would Book The Lex Express

[@MrJwade12]

Beautiful booking

[@alexissmith5589]

The way Adam started the video felt like he was about to say; "Because I'm a smartarse, *DIng*"

[@alejandrocatano7604]

I would've had Goldberg vs Big E at WM38 and the New Day triple treat at SummerSlam, just to help give Woods more credibility, like a singles US title run would be nice before he faces for the World Title.

[@rammyboyz6492]

I always wondered why with how WWE jumped on the women's milestones thing, they never tried to jump on the african american angle with the Rock (since Rock is in real life of african and samoan heritage). It sounds so like them to advertise that they pushed an african american to the moon during the attitude era.

[@maad2]

New day should’ve never been separated. They once was putting them on tv 2 times a episode. Any with the world title while the whole new day heel. Would go crazy. Then fight in a triple threat

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

There is another universe this probably happen......and that universe is just so damn lucky.

[@wrestlingpurist9784]

How about this... How Adam would book: Yoshi Tatsu's heel turn.

[@TheSindustriesLtd]

why was this pitch so damn good it made me genuinely emotional by the end? wtf Adam?

[@SpiritxEnigma]

Following Edge winning the title at the end, I would honestly link that with Adam’s “John Cena’s Final Run” story. Have Edge retire against his greatest rival in a double turn where Cena gets desperate to win #17 & desperate to be viewed as a hero to the fans. I’d eventually have Cena pass the torch to the next face of the company & drop the title to a hot babyface like Sami Zayn, or build up Johnny Gargano & give us a dream Johnny TakeOver vs. Big Match John feud.

[@lukebrown5017]

Adam: “Day 1, a PPV that is as near to being themed after the New Day” Usos: 👁️👄👁️

[@jaschaffin2929]

Most of my wrestling knowledge is old wwf and from adams list but Big E was at a game of the Blue Jackets a few weeks back and he had a blast the video of him on the Zamboni is hilarious

[@tombstonerforever9374]

This should’ve happened after KofiMania

[@richborn6700]

By god Tony Khan needs to throw you all the money to make stories even half that interesting in AEW

[@jacobdesjardins6294]

I personally hope his comeback leads to New day vs the Bloodline, Kofi and Woods vs the Usos, and E takes down Roman finally

[@StarLeo_]

I thought I was going to be against this when there was maybe a new day splot coming, but the ending Is so perfect

[@trickster8303]

Man, this is beautiful and emotional...

[@nineteenct]

If anyone should have the Jackhammer it’s Big E

[@johntrice381]

If I had a nickel everytime Adam booked a New Day Member doing a 3 v 1 comeback against the Bloodline- I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot, but weird it’s happened twice.

[@Survivor-wf7nw]

So a possible idea, you have pete and Luke doing Monday night wars in WWE 2k23. Maybe a series of Adam doing WWE Universe mode? Also how Adam would book Vince Russo winning the WCW belt please and thank you :)

[@ooo_Kim_Chi_ooo]

Its like a riff on the Elite/Hangman story I like it!

[@danielbridger7113]

woah, that xavier deal really had me going as to how i relate to it

[@Tempo1337]

The New Day are forever. They are a beacon of positive, non-toxic male friendship.

[@jamesmaskell3743]

It's so nice to see them together behind the scenes, real friends.

[@davidrea6310]

This is probably your best booking.

[@lewisbullock7526]

sat writing a dissertation tryin to find somet to watch, then this gem pops up

[@roryevans4295]

Can we get a “how Adam would book” himself : WWE champion

[@ayaneryuuza]

Love the story, not sure if anyone noticed the side scroll saying "HOW ADAM WOOULD BOOK" though.

[@bmagada]

God I'm gonna feel so bad for Adam when he realizes Vince is back in charge.

[@abarasch523]

The real prize is friends they made along the way

[@DipreG]

God I love this booking so much. I would have finished with, "In that sense, the New Day....are unicorns". Writes itself.

[@maurofarletti1248]

This was great, absolutely loved it.

[@Vandalia1998]

The Adam Cenematic Universe had a long and great WWE title history

[@johnenigma8506]

The Hurt Business turned out to be amazing and creative really boned it at the time. Maybe a Rebooking the Hurt Business video in the future? I don't know.

[@travisstarks9802]

I loved that booking. I'm Changing E's finish to the jackhammer.

[@majtechtings]

There is NO way dolph is above rick rude with the hip swivel. I refuse to believe that.

[@ienjoypaste]

Adam. C'mon. You know you want to. REBOOK THE EGG THAT HATCHED THE GOOKER.

[@jameswells762]

Adam "I love matches with special rules" Blampied

[@pendafen7405]

'Scurrilous dorks' is such a lovely epithet

[@Gaming_And_Chill]

The thought having the New Day Triple Threat as a Wrestlemania Main Event made me cry. It sounds perfect.
