The fact Xavier's career goal is for Kofi to become heavyweight champion is fucking adorable.

[@masterstepz9800]

+jessc1269 Out of the 3 kofi has been the closest to this goal and deserves it the most. I find it adorable too.

[@chiagz7538]

+jessc1269 so awesome

[@garrethjohnson9787]

+jessc1269 I actually genuinely thinking Kofi could ascend to the world title picture on the back of his New Day success. Bullet Club takes out New Day after having taken out every face on the roster. Kofi stands up as the leader of The New Day, shit gets serious, BOOM Kofi is WHC.

[@chiagz7538]

Garreth Johnson that will be cool storyline

[@alexgalarza3567]

The New Day to win Money in the Bank.Then Kofi to win the World Title.For we shall have a New Day!

[@masterstepz9800]

It's so funny how they say you don't see a crack, but they promote booty o's cereal.

[@alexc271196]

If Kofi, one day, wins the title, I will wet my pants out of joy

[@Kabra2012]

+Alex Shakur I don't know what I want more - Kofi winning the Rumble and main eventing WM, or winning MitB and cashing in at mania. He deserves an RR win, and an MitB win. He's done a lot for both those matches.

[@emiliolujan7836]

Alex Shakur he should win well they have the double u double u eeee world heavyweight champiooooooons

[@FridayDusk]

did ya pants get wet

[@WiqidBritt]

Did Woods mention something about extending the 'Freebird rule' to singles titles as well? So if one member won the WWE Heavyweight championship then they all would be considered champion? That might be interesting, and put a ton of heat on the guy that eventually loses it for them.

[@masterstepz9800]

+Britton Stanaland we all know if that happens woods is gonna lose it. I mean I love the fact that he came up with this idea but, he's the punching bag of the team.

[@WiqidBritt]

Eden kanangila Part of me wants to see him in the ring more, but then I think he's probably the most entertaining member outside the ring.

[@masterstepz9800]

Britton Stanaland ikr

[@wcuservo]

Great interview!

[@ChuckleHead96]

They really remind me of DX. The funny group of best friends with great chemistry who are always trying to push the limits of what they're allowed to do. I really hope they're able to pull off winning the world title under Freebird rules. It would be different and awesome. Maybe they can all grab the money in the bank briefcase at the same time or something

[@masterstepz9800]

+ChuckleHead96 I really enjoy how they're pushing the boundaries in the PG era, and it actually working somehow.

[@reveluvanthony9027]

17:14 -17:21 words to live by, best quote ever

[@hobbitninja]

I hope they can bring in the Problem Solvers thing in eventually, it sounds hilarious

[@badnewskellyleak5974]

+hobbitninja I could totally see them doing that and it's awesome.

[@jerransperarman9411]

good interview

[@davidclark6448]

These guys are hilarious haha!!

[@wingedparagon4448]

John Cena, Roman Reigns... THIS is how you get over with everyone. Take notice, Vince.

[@1LGN]

+Winged Paragon John Cena is already over. Whether or not they're cheering or boo'ing him, they're having fun at his expense and still find way to enjoy whatever he's doing when he's on As for Roman, people are just savages with misguidance. They clamored for change and they got it, now this whole "he's being shoved down our throats", but yet they have their mouths open in hate rather than change. They aren't taking steps towards having change by all these arena drowning boos and childish internet edits about him. Best bet, cheer for someone else on the constant, but pay him no mind, give him zero reaction and THEN they'll see change

[@wingedparagon4448]

Agreed about Roman. Instead of booing him, they should just give him dead silence. Problem is then, they put in their own cheers. So not having the booing leaves the crowd open to manipulation on TV.

[@1LGN]

Winged Paragon Practically serves up that the WWE Universe is the self destruction of what the company is going down for in prestige. Clearly everyone forgot how they got Daniel Bryan over, cheering for him, the guy they wanted, over everyone in every match. That's how it should be done, but whining and bitching "uhhgghhh Roman sucks, someone kill this guy, when is he gonna retire" ain't doing shit and it won't until they pull their dicks from the dirt and realize how you really get your favorites on the up and open

[@wingedparagon4448]

I think its a mix of both. People have tried cheering for the likes of Ryder, Ziggler, Sandow ect and they havnt been given the same kind of opportunities as Daniel Bryan, or CM Punk. Ryder especially, he got over then completely buried. Theres only so much cheering for "your guy" does, as far as the crowd is concerned. So they have to make themselves heard another way by booing those they see as being pushed ahead of those who deserve it. Dont get me wrong, I like Roman Reigns, but the fact he is being pushed over those who the crowd are more into: the crowd being told "this is 'the guy'" rather then the crowd telling the company "These are who we'd like to see as 'the guy'" does not sit well with people. When you look at the likes of HHH, Rock, Austin, HBK, Undertaker... all those big names that they like to compare people to, they got over because their stories were told gradually. Each of them were Intercontinental champions, each of them had major feuds that didnt involve the title. Instead of a slow burn and build up, they try to force it in a short space of time and it shows. People know whats going to happen before it does and no one likes predictability.

[@wingedparagon4448]

Ok, amendment to what I was saying: Taker wasn't, but he's always the exception to the rules. They also had a number of face and heel turns. Which the company seems hesitant to give anyone they want in a top spot. I mean, look back at Kurt Angle's debut, they had him turn mid-match in his first match! Why? Crowd reaction. You'll never see anything like that these days.

[@RedeyeBlackfire]

I agree with Woods the end goal for the New Day is for them to still be a group but let Kofi have the wwe championship,

[@Piskellozara]

I just want one of them to be a main eventer in the future. Possibly Kofi.

[@reveluvanthony9027]

best quote in the history of quotes

[@Madferit91]

9:34 Sam Roberts walking in the back.

[@jykugoku]

IF I am not mistaken I think Kofi once fought HHH for the Strap and HHH put him over a bit Of course H won But he lifted his hand at the end or something like that

[@johnkennedyekene9128]

Kofi gat skills. He can stand most of them current roaster guys. He has a small body n you know how ppl feel when it comes to small bodied guys, it's real. But kofi is actually a good wrestler.

[@pharaohdedumose111]

there real good people

[@tna4life123]

#NewDayRocks

[@twitertaker]

The best part about this interview is that they dont really have to care about kayfabe since they for a big part are the people in the ring they are outside. At least that what it looks like to me. Paul Heyman nether fall out of role because he is the mic master but these guys don't need to get into the role because they are comedians in the ring as outside the ring.

[@TheCubsforlife]

pg era underrated

[@JustChrisTM]

WWE micromanages everyone's promos word for word and it all sounds bland. 13:26 New Day pretty much get creative freedom over anything they touch, and look how over they are?

[@JustChrisTM]

My point is some of these underutilized guys need to start pushing the envelope until someone tells you to stop. Kofi (with much help from X and E) has been 1000x more relevant in the May '15 - April '16 stretch than in his previous 8 years because he went out on a huge limb and essentially said "f**k it" and it worked out. I know the guys are scared of Vince, but unless you wanna "Jack Swagger" your career away, ya gotta take a chance, or talk to someone with ideas.... bc the writers got nothin'.

[@dron9912]
