Xavier Woods kills me.. especially when trash talking Neville "I'ma make gravity remember you" lolol

[@centurioncharlie6317]

+flexharder lol he killed me when he said "try Rise Above this CENNA!!" xD

[@VeggieGamer]

Honestly when I first saw their kind of 'trailer' for the team I thought it was going to be one of the worst stables ever. They have turned it into the best thing in the WWE today!

[@AriGrande]

That's because WWE let them be them.

[@TheIchoose]

em! what do you mean their kind veggie?

[@VeggieGamer]

Theichoose me the following word makes it about the trailer and not about them ;)

[@TheIchoose]

I do apologise :)

[@VeggieGamer]

Theichoose me haha, no problem XD

[@vizestroowash]

Love these guys now that they've turned heel, and have started to realize their full potential!

[@hennypowers8319]

I still don't understand why they chose Reigns over Big E, at least Big E has charisma.

[@ZYaKnoe249]

Jack Marshall Their both very good in their own right.

[@PAPITOFLOW6969]

Jack Marshall cus big e sucks roman's the man

[@lordpookie]

i still don't understand how people still hate on reigns shit is old now

[@hound89]

Robert Houston cause he has three moves and his promos are embarrassing.

[@lordpookie]

hound89 not everybody is dean malenko, also most of the very top stars in the company had a dry move set as well so what's your point.

[@dmgdubp4319]

9 months and two championship reigns later, they're the best part of WWE!

[@readysaltedpirate5171]

big e breathes heavy

[@Reason_over_Dogma]

#KeepitTIGHT!

[@MusicKnowledge1]

If the much deserving Kofi Kingston Was to defy odds and Win WWE Money In The Bank Ladder Match the interactions with him, Big E and Xavier Woods with the Tag Titles and the briefcase would be absolutely hilarious.

[@TheIchoose]

man I so wanna get their tracksuit

[@smoothkidd272k6]

The jackets are different from the pants

[@ItsEulonzo]

Was this filmed before their heel turn? 'Cause it seems to me at 7:51 the way Kofi was speaking about the crowd's booing, they didn't pull the trigger on their heel turn yet.

[@pjdbro]

thpunkmaster yes, they became heels after Wrestlemania when they started wearing Silver/Green

[@joelplays572]

Best tag champs plus I love kofi

[@YM-bn7wl]

THATS THAT PREDICTING THE FUTURE BABIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@SkateGnarlyable1]

[@bkey9067]

strength + agility + intelegence = newday is dota confirmed!

[@lowkeyotaku2373]

"this is my strong hand" Scary Movie line

[@derekblankenship8970]

The new day are just another if not the biggest example that if you just let guys go out there and have fun and be themselves, even with a slight "character" that the superstars these days can be more entertaining without a creative stranglehold.

[@spittaproduction]

1:38 why i feel like he's talking about the deal Xavier made with vince here lol

[@FrancisAlexTCU3958]

OHHH WWE UNIVERSE!!!! DON'T YOU DARE BE SOUR!!!! CLAP FOR YOUR WORLD FAMOUS TWO TIME CHAMPS!!!! AND FEEL THE POWER!!!!!! IT'S A NEW DAY YES IT IS!!!!!!!

[@Knightfall-Batman]

[@guyepicman]

[@pjdbro]

Guy Epicman he lost to Jimmy Uso on Main Event after Wrestlemania

[@hardyfan22]

"you could go skiing on mount woods!" kofi kingston - 2015

[@jacob4690]

I'd be impressed if you called Lesnar a part timer to his face

[@bdwwrestlingarchives3286]

New Day's socks,New Day's socks!!

[@pjdbro]

11:24 "This my strong hand"

[@TopDog69]

Amazing that they turn to heel to turn face.

[@pjdbro]

+TopDog69 its becoming if u want a huge face start as a heel....u want a huge heel, start as a face

[@TopDog69]

pjdbro But I mean like, they came in as babyfaces and got shit on by the crowd, so they turned heel and quickly started being cheered and lapped up by the crowd, so they're really just babyfaces pretending to be heels at this point.

[@jj1only]

+TopDog69 mind blown. that's heel-ception right there! actually quite brilliant! they're faces pretending to be heel. there's why they're such silly heels and not serious like the authority and such.

[@cuppamocha101]

Damn boys just you wait a couple years...

[@feck875]

New day

[@johanprx7985]

Xavier Woods voice is so different here :)

[@smoothkidd272k6]

[@JoshJakeG]

[@Hubbzy97]

+Jo Gølphin as soon as Finn Balor debuts bullet club will come

[@Tonecupone04]

New day vs Wyatt family Wrestlemania 33 make it happen

[@centurioncharlie6317]

+Anthony McMahan they'd get killed by Braun Strowman, he bear hugged the shit out of Jericho!

[@Tonecupone04]

[@goat1636]

[@izzymagnesium2205]

Why?

[@devin_so_devious]

[@JustChrisTM]

All 3 are college graduates, 1 is working on a PHD. But okay I guess.

[@joshuarentas2775]

[@simarpardesi4906]

I hate New Day, Lucha Dragons should've came..

[@craiganderson5813]

but they didn't so get over it 😁 😅 😑 😒

[@VideoGameStupidLC]

+Simar Pardesi Came where? On your face?

[@chargers014]

BIG E BREAKING CHARACTER WOW HE'S TERRIBLE

[@johncena21103]

dude. i guess big e is like Roman Xavier is like Seth and that leaves Kofi as Dean. i heard this from Gore and Perkins but I hope new day breaks up exactly like shield. but with the trombone instead of chair

[@StarLeo_]

I think Kofi is more like Seth

[@johncena21103]

Yeah I just think that it would be funny with Xavier whacking them with a trombone and winning the wwe title.
