The New Day share a real-life bond and friendship that they have showcased on-screen, and have won over fans with their antics. But, things could have completely different as the group was originally not supposed to have Kofi Kingston in it.
In a recent appearance on New Day’s Feel the Power podcast, Big E revealed that WWE commentator Byron Saxton was originally supposed to be a part of the group.
The New Day reveal that Byron Saxton was supposed to be a part of the group
Saxton was a guest on the show and The New Day revealed how Saxton had teamed with Big E and Woods back in FCW.
Here’s what Big E said about Saxton being a part of the group:
Saxton said that it was a case of trying something different and figuring out if it would work in WWE. He said that the trio had “distinctive personalities” which “created a very good match”. Woods also spoke about the original incarnation of The New Day and said that he was the angry one in the group, Big E was the “muscle”, while Saxton was “calm and collected one”.
Before joining the WWE commentary desk, Byron Saxton was a wrestler with FCW and NXT. He retired in 2011 and has been a commentator since on WWE television.
Big E had revealed on an earlier edition of The New Day podcast that they had plans to add more Superstars to the faction.
