WWE created The New Day. WWE turned them into legends. So how did WWE lose them? For more than a decade, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E became one of the greatest and most influential tag teams of the modern era. From their unlikely beginnings and the early days of The New Day to Booty-O's, WrestleMania moments, championship reigns, Big E's rise to WWE Champion, and some of the greatest tag team matches of their generation, The New Day became far more than a WWE tag team. They became an institution. But everything changed. Big E's devastating injury changed the dynamic. The New Day eventually fractured. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods continued on without their third brother. And then came a shocking business decision that ultimately helped send them out of WWE. After reports of a major contract dispute, Kofi and Austin Creed revealed that WWE had offered them a new deal involving a pay cut of more than 50%. They chose to bet on themselves. And at AEW All In 2026, Kofi and Austin Creed shocked the wrestling world by debuting as THE NEW LEVEL alongside Swerve Strickland — and immediately becoming AEW World Trios Champions. So was this the end of The New Day? Or was it simply the beginning of something new? In this Cheap Pop Society documentary, we look at the complete story of The New Day — their rise, their legacy, Big E's injury, the breakup, their WWE departure, the controversial pay-cut situation, and the shocking birth of The New Level. WWE helped create The New Day. The New Day became legends. But sometimes... legends have to walk through a different door. QUESTION FOR YOU: Did WWE actually lose The New Day? Or did The New Day simply outgrow WWE?
