– The original plan for New Day was reportedly for them to turn heel by choosing Odyssey Jones over Big E as E’s replacement, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
When Odyssey Jones came in, they were going to tease issues with them not getting along but it would end up with Kingston & Woods going heel by choosing Jones and having him publicly replace E. But then Jones got fired and the whole thing was put on hold.
