They’re in Omaha to build hype for their upcoming title defense against one of WWE’s newest attractions, The Vaudevillians. The New Day is the current - and longest-reigning - WWE tag team champion. The three men who make up one of WWE’s most popular acts - there’s uber-athletic and one-time Jamaican Kofi Kingston, the video game-loving mouthpiece and legitimate doctoral candidate Xavier Woods, and the aforementioned Big E, the hoss of the group - incessantly skip, prance, gyrate and, yes, twerk their way down the ramp to the ring. It feels like a mixture of Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary.

Then New Day’s gospel-choir entrance music hits. The crowd mimics every word of Big E’s preamble. Clap … ! For your world-famous, two-time champs, and feeeeel the powerrrrrr.”

This is the May 9, 2016, edition of Monday Night Raw. Big E, The New Day’s rambunctious and rotund heavyweight, is howling at tens of thousands of wrestling fans at CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
