The New Day kicked off 2019 the right way on SmackDown LIVE – with pancakes!
Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E, the last of whom was dressed as the most muscular New Year’s Baby ever, also dropped a huge announcement – they’ll all be entering the 2019 Royal Rumble Match! After doing a little Steiner Math (it’s complicated), The New Day surmised that they’ll have the best odds of winning and heading to WrestleMania.
The trio then revealed their new year’s resolution – to stop eating pancakes. Before the horrors of The New Day tossing out heads of lettuce soaked in balsamic vinaigrette to the WWE Universe could become reality, however, they ditched that plan because nobody really keeps their resolutions, right?
But after all the celebrating, there was business to get to. Namely, determining the final participant in tonight’s Fatal 5-Way to determine who will challenge WWE Champion Daniel Bryan at Royal Rumble. Who (Who? Who?) would it be? Jeff Hardy or Samoa Joe? We wouldn’t have to wait long to find out.
