There are rumors going about that WWE might be trying something unique in regards to New Day's future. There's been speculation of WWE breaking the group up for a while, something that's picked up the last few days after seeing Big E's performance against Daniel Bryan in the gauntlet match with E getting a big singles push. The rumor going about is that WWE plans to keep the trio united, but to push them as singles wrestlers operating within their three man faction. Exactly how they're going to go about this is something I haven't read about, which means they're probably not sure themselves, but the standard operating practice for nearly every faction in any company is for one or more of the faction members to turn, such as what we saw go down with Seth Rollins and the Shield. New Day is a popular act, however, that makes a lot of money for the company via merchandise and ticket sales so trying a different approach in order to help keep the group together, yet separate, is a novel approach. Even if it doesn't work out, then WWE can always fall back on taking the traditional route.
If WWE means to "push' all three of them in terms of elevating them as singles stars, it might be hard to pull off as there are only so many spots. The easier thing would be to split them up, of course, and I could easily see Woods heading for 205 Live. Woods would be a highly charismatic Cruiserweight Champion, something I think the title needs as Cedric Alexander, while talented, doesn't have the personality to elevate the brand to the next level. Kofi seems to be firmly placed as a mic-carder but I wouldn't mind seeing him get at least one real shot as a WWE or Universal Championship contender. I think he's also someone who could be of real use on 205 Live as he has a lot of credibility and can wrestle the faster, more athletic style. If a main event shot is out of the question, at least the Cruiserweight Division offers something different as Kofi will have already done anything else; he's been a 7 time Tag Team, 4 time Intercontinental and 3 time United States Champion so it'd just feel like he's spinning his wheels. Big E is loaded with personality and he's someone I could easily see floating in and out of the upper mid-card to main event pictures.
