I really can't think of someone whos theme song alone got the fans SO involved. Lol

The dude is GREAT in the ring, but God damn...his entrance...is just out of this world every time.

That entire Smackdown arena was singing and that doesn't even factor in the people who don't watch NXT/don't know who he is.

Fandango a few years ago, but Nakamura's was better

ah yeah true. totally forgot about that guy lol

Mutually agreed upon aka tired of being a jobber. They never truly tried to get them over though. His partner is so screwed right now.

They had promise and I loved the heel gimmick, but the casual crowd never reacted to them after the call up to the main roster. Also I think after Gotch's incidents with knocking out/injuring Enzo during a match and reported backstage fights a wrestler, he got put in the dog house.

Yeah Aiden English is screwed.

I still wonder who F'd that up.

And the crowd never reacted because of the new day. I liked and still like the new day, but tjey buried so many teams during that run.

And i think it has to do with raws format. There were rarely tag matches that did not incolve the new day. They have 3 freaking hours, and 45mins of it is 3 SLOW promos, and 15 is rehashing what happened an hour ago.

lol i just looked up the Enzo knockout because i thought it was obvious it was Enzo's fault (not so sure now). Take a look at New Day sitting on the floor in the corner eating pizza and just staring at Enzo being knocked out.

That's one of the coolest debuts I've seen too bad they didn't do anything with him and Miz.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, originally the plan for the "Superstar Shakeup" was for Roman Reigns to head over to Smackdown and for AJ Styles to move to Raw. These plans have changed though and now it appears that only Styles will be moving to Raw but that means someone else - likely a big star - will be moving from Raw as the loss of Styles is a big hole to fill.

The New Day is also expected to move from Raw to Smackdown as a way to shore up the tag team division, especially with the Vaudevillains now done with Simon Gotch's release.

Finally, another rumor is that Charlotte and Alexa Bliss may be flipping spots too. Speculation is that WWE booked Bliss to submit twice to Naomi within days as a sign that she is on her way to Raw and with Charlotte potentially moving to Smackdown, she is expected to feud with Naomi for the Women's title.
