WWE: What New Day’s Members Could Do After Break-Up

Kofi Kingston
Of the three members of the New Day, Kingston’s future is the bleakest. He has been a perpetual midcarder for the entirety of his main roster career. There was a brief period between 2008 and 2010 during which Kingston feuded with Randy Orton & the Legacy. That was perceived by most people to be his big main event push, where he’d break the glass ceiling and become a main-event-caliber star.
Sadly, it all came crashing down after what some have alleged was him making too many botches during that feud. Orton beat Kingston decisively in their most encounters, sending Kingston packing back to the midcard, where he’d remain until the New Day was formed.
Once the New Day splits, Kingston’s likely to go back to that same spot. He’s the trio’s oldest member and has already been a fixture on WWE programming for many years. Unless WWE does something drastic with him and pushes him into the main event picture, Kofi’s future isn’t likely to change much.
If anything, he’s likely to end up in one or two runs with one of the midcard belts or might get a one-off shot at a world title, but other than that, Kingston isn’t likely to benefit in a major way from the New Day’s imminent dissolution.
