The New Day named as hosts of WWE WrestleMania 33
Given their status as one of the most prominent acts in WWE, it figured that The New Day would be playing a featured role at this year’s WrestleMania.
That role was announced on Monday as Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods revealed on TMZ that they would be hosting WrestleMania 33. The news puts into doubt whether the trio will be wrestling on the show.
Hosting duties have previously been handled by Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 30 and The Rock at WrestleMania 27.
Since dropping the Raw Tag Team Championship after the completion of their record-breaking reign and falling out of the title picture, The New Day have taken a bit of a step back on television. All three members were entrants in the Royal Rumble and have been involved in a storyline with Titus O’Neil.
Big E, Kingston, and Woods teamed against Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, and Rusev at last year’s WrestleMania, which led to a segment with Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, and Mick Foley after the match.
WrestleMania 33 takes place at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida on April 2nd.
