The 10th anniversary celebration of The New Day, a faction known for their positivity and camaraderie, was marred by the betrayal of its members, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, towards their brother-in-arms, Big E. The emotional segment saw the duo turn on Big E, accusing him of not fighting hard enough to return to action after a life-threatening injury and moving on with his personal life. The abrupt turn of events left Big E looking dejected and seemingly done with the pair, effectively creating a gap in the traditionally three-man group.

As a result, fans are left wondering if this breakup could lead to Woods and Kingston finding a new member to complete their trio. In this article, we explore three potential replacements for Big E in The New Day.

Omos, a powerhouse with a mean streak, could be the perfect fit for the faction. Despite his sporadic appearances, he has shown himself capable of being both menacing as a heel and goofy as a babyface. He could bring a sense of unpredictability to the group, making him a valuable addition to the trio. With Woods and Kingston being able to switch between babyface and heel roles, Omos could seamlessly fit into either dynamic.

Apollo Crews, another powerhouse with impressive athleticism and power, could also find new life as Big E’s replacement. His inconsistent booking has left his WWE career in limbo, but joining The New Day could provide the boost he needs to revive his career. As the strong, silent muscle of the group, he could help bring stability and credibility to the faction, allowing Woods and Kingston to focus on their comedic pursuits.

Finally, Oba Femi, a rising star in NXT, could be the perfect candidate to take over Big E’s role. With his impressive combination of strength, speed, agility, and charisma, he has drawn comparisons to top stars like Brock Lesnar and Bron Breakker. His absence from NXT has been felt, and some fans believe he is being groomed for a call-up to the main roster. Given his similar powerhouse style and his admiration for Big E, Oba Femi could be the ideal replacement for the former Mr. Money In The Bank winner.

While Big E’s departure from The New Day may have been emotional, it could ultimately lead to new and exciting opportunities for the remaining members. As the faction looks to the future, one of these three potential replacements could help fill the void left by their departed brother-in-arms.
