I knew Kofi was going to go heel based off one small thing he was wearing. The necklace he was wearing is from Dragon Ball Z, and it’s a curse mark that brings any trace of evil out of a person’s heart, and makes them full on evil and more powerful.
I’m slowly getting into dragon ball more but man I love how they bring in little things from that universe and has it affect their characters. Like how all along it wasn’t goku vs goku black with their gear but really zamasu and goku black
I think the greatest follow-up would be Big E shows up on the next PLE pre-show a total mess. Everyone tryin' their best to hype the show, while E has just given up on life: Jacky Redmond: Tonight thirty men and thirty women will compete for their chance at the title of their choosing in the main event of WM. Who do you pick to win Big E? Big E: What does it matter? Whoever wins will have their moment in the sun, but it'll all inevitably fall to sh*t. It always does. Everyone you know and love goes away eventually. There are no happy endings in this sport. Just emptiness. (Awkward silence for several moments.) Booker T: I got my money on John Cena.
Then Big E stands up and walks away. Later in the Rumble match Kofi and Woods clear the ring, countdown starts and out comes Big E haulin' ass to give Kofi and Woods a beatdown
Kofi wasn't lying though. Stone Cold , Kurt Angle, Edge all broke their necks and came back years later. Even if he wasn't wrestling, Big E could've came back as a Support System for the New Day like 2 years ago (2022).
@@tonybayarea it was done well. It was Kofi and Woods showing ignorance. Everyone's bodies are different. Austin, Angle and Edge coming back doesn't mean Big E can. It didn't matter to them. Such good TV. My 10yr old daughter cried, they've been her guys. The ONLY time she hated heel og Bloodline is when they were jumpin New Day. She hated this last night too. I did some consoling. Had to remind her they're still friends in real life.
I was legit just sat there like… please. Please just leave him alone. Please stop it. Stop it. Stop saying these things. Genuinely heartbreaking. Incredible stuff
My wife and I last minute decided to go to RAW tonight, when Kofi and Woods started laying in on E all the air let out the room...it was so chef's kiss perfect
I think one of the best aspects of the turn is that there is a large sliver of truth to what Kofi and Woods were saying! One of the calling cards of good heel work is to always sprinkle in a point or two that people can begrudgingly agree with and that just added to the layers of the segment. Best breakup since The Festival of Friendship.
I loved the moment, but Big E being hurt by his friends killed me. Everyone loves Big E, it’s an easy way to turn heel but damn, seeing him so heartbroken hurts me deep.
I thought of about 5 different ways that segment could have gone, but Woods and Kofi joining forces to turn heel together on Big E wasn't one of them. That was a great segment and total surprise to me.
At the end of the segment when e was starting to leave, woods was looking down and tk the left refusing to look E in the eye. Somewhere deep down they know what they said was wrong.
Honestly was expecting big e to say he's cleared and take em both out, anyone else notice the barrier lights flicker when Kofi was talking, Howdy coming for ya boys.
That might be the best wrestling segment of all time. The emotions, the decade build up. Insanity and wonderful storytelling by WWE over months and months. This is what fans want and I love they are doing it in the mid card instead of only in the main event picture
segment of the year. nothing will top the emotion in this. Woods showed that he can be incredible on the mic and Big Es emotions and reactions were heartbreaking
What if big e is cleared (or close to being cleared) and we get a massive rumble return. Then that turns to a new day triple threat and then end at wrestlemania with an end of an era like pose
Side note re: Rollins, my mans out here lookin a lil like Firefly Funhouse Bray Wyatt with that hairdo 😭😂 Edit: regarding the New Day segment...man, that was heartbreaking. But like you said, in a good way...honestly, the fact that Big E was there gives me hope that someday, somewhere down the line, we'll see him in action again--but if not, we got a send-off of sorts for him that was more fitting than just "well, E's on the Countdown panel now"
Ricochet is wearing a All Might custom from My Hero Academy. The segment was unexpected for me, I was 100% sure someone was going to get thrown into the cereal box.
Yeah man - Kofi and Woods did Big E dirty. I'm holding out hope for a triumphant return for Big E in some capacity and the ENTIRE New Day will once again embrace the Power of Positivity.
The only thing that could have broken my heart more, that they probably medically couldn't do, would have been a physical beat down rather than just a verbal one. But something about E standing thered devasted.. it was perfectly awful
It was great. I do want to say that the Rock thing i think i figured out what it meant. He was telling everyone even Cody either 3 events, 3 months or 3 PLEs. Now if that is the case the third PLE would be the Royal Rumble. If not then the 3rd event is Saturday Nights Main Event. and if it is 3 months then it will be in January.
I'll be honest, the moment they started talking shit to E, I went "Oh this has to be a swerve. There's gotta be a plot twist" but then no plot twist ever came. And the segment just ended with E leaving them behind and I was like "Oh my God they actually drove E away. THOSE BASTARDS"
man there was a point where I was starting to agree with Kofi and Woods. Kurt Angle won a gold medal on a broken neck, Stone Cold got dropped on his stack of dimes of a neck. I'm here for the Bad New Day.
gave proper festival of friendship vibes minus the beatdown. like the turn for Kofi and woods. def hope and think will lead to a big e return to the ring . hopefully
You all know that the thing the Rock handed cody was the number 30 ball for the rumble right?? .... Plus the Bad Blood entrance where he went 3 ...2....1 ...cut the throat means he is winning the damn rumble.
This day was coming sooner or later but i never thought kofi and Xavier were the ones to go heel and make Big E cry i always thought it would be Big E turning on them 🤦♂️ best segment yet and hope Big E gets cleared to deal with kofi and Xavier then Kross 😊
I hope they give Big E some sort of authority figure position where he can make things tough for the New Day. Head of the tag team division or some such.
I think if Punk never left WWE, I don’t think he’d be as popular as he is now. That gap in time when he left the business as a whole made people want him back and creates half the storylines he has now that he is back. I’m not saying he would have fallen into obscurity or anything, but I don’t think he’d be as big of a star without those years of everyone missing him.
I’m going to be really disappointed if Big E doesn’t cost them a match or two at some point by slinging some pancakes at them every time they cheat. Maybe Kofi almost saves himself from being eliminated at the Rumble, but then he slips on a pancake and falls off the apron too. Just keeps trolling them from afar, watching with a disapproving look on his face. No way can they last against “I’m not angry, just disappointed” mode Big E…
Big E return at RR or raw after mania. I feel like they wouldn't have mentioned other Austin and Edge if E wasn't going to get cleared. Much needed heel turn for Kofi and Xavier, now put the tag titles back on them and Big E find a new partner coming up from NXT to fued over the titles.
Thoughts: They breaking up. Oh Big E back!!! A manager!!! That’s cool!! Wait what,they crapping on E?!?!? Wait,they gotta be lighting a fire under E to comeback. Oh shit no!!! They really kicking E out?!?!?!?

That is so something Booker would do 😂
That would be _too_ real, way too real for E. But I'd love it.
"You broke your neck.. so what?!" that line killed me 😢
I thought he was being sarcastic at first. Then he started going through the list and my mouth just dropped.

@@PontFlair no, Kofi & Woods spoke the truth. We can agree to disagree. 👍
@@tonybayarea who said they lied?
"👍"
If Big E gets cleared now, he's gonna be the biggest Babyface in the company.
He's getting cleared, for all we know, he's been cleared for months.
Technically E did get Kofi and Xavier back on the same page
Me: I just want Big E to come back and help Woods & Kofi realize they don't need to break up.
HHH: Hey, you got it!
Me: NO, NOT LIKE THAT!
Monkey's paw.😢
*Mashing the “Shit! Go back!” button.*
One of the greatest heel turns of all time..................and not a single punch was thrown
Hell yeah
Plenty of punches were thrown and kicks too. They just hit the heart instead.
That's why it was so good compared to most WWE segments involving turns nowadays tbh. This just felt like an argument tearing friends apart
I was legit just sat there like… please. Please just leave him alone. Please stop it. Stop it. Stop saying these things. Genuinely heartbreaking. Incredible stuff
legit tears at the end with Big E's non-mic pleas 😿 no promo-voice nor wrestling tropes, just a lot of so-close-to-real heartbreak

Should've known from Kofi's Majin chain
That New Day segment broke my heart, but I'm so invested in this story.
I pray this leads to E being clear and a feud between the three
I’m hoping of a more “iroh/zuko” thing. “I was never angry with you two, I was scared that you lost your way”
I really really want them together man
This is wrestling at its best. We’re all so sad. We love these guys, it’ll make their reunion down the line that much better!
I loved the moment, but Big E being hurt by his friends killed me. Everyone loves Big E, it’s an easy way to turn heel but damn, seeing him so heartbroken hurts me deep.
That was segment of the year. No contest.
I thought of about 5 different ways that segment could have gone, but Woods and Kofi joining forces to turn heel together on Big E wasn't one of them. That was a great segment and total surprise to me.
When he went in for the hug and Kofi put his hand up and stopped him I yelled at the screen "hug him you fucker!" What a devastating heel turn.
9:23 You're close, Steve. He's dressed up as All Might from a show called My Hero Academia, which was pretty popular around that time.
I legitimately wonder how hard it was for all 3 of them to do that segment with how close the 3 of them were for so long
This was the first segment ever that had me go onto social media to see the responses.
Arguably the most emotional moment in wrestling this year
You know brock squashing kofi in 8 seconds isnt looking to bad now does it ?
I knew something was up when big e came out to new music but dang, I wasn't expecting that, amazing segment
This was one of the best raws of the year idc
New Day segment was really heartbreaking, what a crazy twist. Kofi as a heel again is gonna hit so hard
I went from crying with hope to crying with sadness.
4:00 im howling 😂😂😂
At the end of the segment when e was starting to leave, woods was looking down and tk the left refusing to look E in the eye. Somewhere deep down they know what they said was wrong.
Honestly was expecting big e to say he's cleared and take em both out, anyone else notice the barrier lights flicker when Kofi was talking, Howdy coming for ya boys.
That segment was brutal!
Duuuuuude so rough man! 😢
One of if not the best segment of the year in WWE
Honestly, there's a lot of good stories being told on RAW so I'm quite excited to see where they go with them.
Team Flair from Crown Jewel 2019 was Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Shinsuke Nakamura.
Yeah it was anime inspired, Ricochet was dressed as All Might from My Hero Academia
Ohhhh hahaha I shoulda known my kid watches that
I cried! It was so good! I wasn't expecting one of the best segments of the year to happen at the end of the year. 😂
That might be the best wrestling segment of all time. The emotions, the decade build up. Insanity and wonderful storytelling by WWE over months and months. This is what fans want and I love they are doing it in the mid card instead of only in the main event picture
an all time segment
It was great to see big e come back on raw last night☹️🇬🇧
I just remember Shinsuke was on Team Flair because Hogan called him "young boy". The only amusing thing Hogan has done in the past 20 years. 👻
It broke my heart man
Ironically, the last segment they ever did was the best one! Now they're a bunch of cranky old dudes. I dig it
This was the first time my wife legit saw me cry. Damn I love wrestling!!!😢😢🎉😂
i legit started crying when they turned on E !!!
0:52
So, What?
-Kofi
segment of the year. nothing will top the emotion in this. Woods showed that he can be incredible on the mic and Big Es emotions and reactions were heartbreaking
Big E deserves an Oscar...
What if big e is cleared (or close to being cleared) and we get a massive rumble return. Then that turns to a new day triple threat and then end at wrestlemania with an end of an era like pose
That segment was both amazing and heartbreaking. But Big E accomplished his mission! Kofi and Xavier are (seemingly) sticking together.
Side note re: Rollins, my mans out here lookin a lil like Firefly Funhouse Bray Wyatt with that hairdo 😭😂
Edit: regarding the New Day segment...man, that was heartbreaking. But like you said, in a good way...honestly, the fact that Big E was there gives me hope that someday, somewhere down the line, we'll see him in action again--but if not, we got a send-off of sorts for him that was more fitting than just "well, E's on the Countdown panel now"
The new day could become the Last Day
That cat learned from Buddy on how to maximize screen time.
Watched with my family, and my 15 y.o. daughter punctuated it with a "i dont like this". Heartbreaking
Ricochet is wearing a All Might custom from My Hero Academy. The segment was unexpected for me, I was 100% sure someone was going to get thrown into the cereal box.
In my opinion woods not turning on kofi felt so underwhelming because I want to see woods away from kofi
That was not what I expected in the least. I thought the New Day were going to split up, not turn on Big E.
Ricochet was in All Might themed gear. Character from the anime "My Hero Academia" actually really good anime
Yeah man - Kofi and Woods did Big E dirty. I'm holding out hope for a triumphant return for Big E in some capacity and the ENTIRE New Day will once again embrace the Power of Positivity.
The only thing that could have broken my heart more, that they probably medically couldn't do, would have been a physical beat down rather than just a verbal one. But something about E standing thered devasted.. it was perfectly awful

Yet people said AEW is good when WWE has this?
Heartbreaking.
Technically Big E got them on the same page 😢😂
Was never really a fan of the group. But today, this is when I start to enjoy them. Hope woods and kofi do some real grown up shit now.
I swear the god that cat scared the shit out of me I’m like what the hell is that going on behind Steve Here.
gave proper festival of friendship vibes minus the beatdown. like the turn for Kofi and woods. def hope and think will lead to a big e return to the ring . hopefully
I always dive backing into watching the weekly TV once we inch towards rumble season, looks like I picked a good Raw to start watching again😂😂 damn
You all know that the thing the Rock handed cody was the number 30 ball for the rumble right?? .... Plus the Bad Blood entrance where he went 3 ...2....1 ...cut the throat means he is winning the damn rumble.
Read Big Es story on the players tribune. It'll get you in the feels even more
I couldn't believe they dissed Big E....😭😭 it gave "put the fries in the bag, bro!" 🤣😭 it was a sickening feeling tho.🥺
The List of KO
Steve: I’m so sad for Big e
Also Steve: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 (at Big E sad face)
As Big E himself wrote..."It's ok to be sour"
Honestly nothing the Bloodline has done compares to this other than when Roman and Jey first started feuding in the beginning of it all
Lol that rollins net shirt was frickin hilarious
Lol, your reactions. 😂 Well done, Steve.
The Streak should have never ended and I’ll always stand by that.
Well that was fucking sad
the weird ricochet outfit is a reference to the character "all might" from the anime "my hero academia"
This day was coming sooner or later but i never thought kofi and Xavier were the ones to go heel and make Big E cry i always thought it would be Big E turning on them 🤦♂️ best segment yet and hope Big E gets cleared to deal with kofi and Xavier then Kross 😊

There was no positivity on this night.
Ricochet was wearing All Mights costume from My Hero Academia
I hope they give Big E some sort of authority figure position where he can make things tough for the New Day. Head of the tag team division or some such.
They say it like Big E Broke his own neck. They can least say “got your neck broken“

That new day segment was so fucking depressing 😢. My boy E didn’t deserve that verbal abuse
Hey Steve, i know it might be too soon but there are lots of dogs at front street animal shelter that could use your love and loyalty
That New Day segment was hard to watch until the end
your laugh is contagious i needed that

A manager!!! That’s cool!!
Wait what,they crapping on E?!?!?
Wait,they gotta be lighting a fire under E to comeback.
Oh shit no!!! They really kicking E out?!?!?!?
Hopefully the segment means E is cleared or close to getting cleared by doctors to return
