I remember back in the WhatCulture era when Adam pitched how the New Day should break up because "[he] thinks they're done." So seeing this booking now, one that celebrates the New Day's friendship and long years as a team is quite nice to see
I love this. The idea of a ‘New Day Civil War’ always seems like a missed opportunity in my head. Just have 3 friends who respect and love each other fight, and have them still be friends, it’s just a nice story.
This is perfect, love it! New Day should never be separated and i agree having them together in singles runs is far more interesting than making them just like everyone else. Hope Big E is healthy enough to come back soon!
Why, Big E and Xavier Woods flopped as champion, I’m sick of the world title gold watch title reigns. The world champion should be the biggest economic draw. If everyone wins the world title, being the world champion doesn’t mean much.
@@frazerrobertson2slip, but I think you understand my point. At the end of the day WWE is a business and Roman Reigns has proven how business can elevate when you have the right guy be the top guy. He’s elevated Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, the USO’s, Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes by mere association, even when he’s not around. Let’s imagine Sami won the title at elimination chamber. Can he elevate the people he works with and has elevated any of his for we opponents?
The New Day are historic because they are one of the first mid-card groups who got creative control and showed why they are more than ready to be main-event level talent... which is what they've become. They have been doing the same thing for years and the fact nobody turned on them or wants them to change shows how well they work. New Day is one of the goat factions, and when the Usos inevitably induct them as a group into the HoF (YEARS down the line hopefully), that speech will be fire
Damn dude! Someone please give this man a job as a storyline writer! We need more angles and storylines with thought and care behind them and Adam always delivers.
This was lovely! I always wanted The New Day triple threat in Kofi's reign and then again in Big E's. I absolutely agree that they should not split up/one turn heel and this was a great way to do it. Sending positive vibes to Big E - you are sorely missed
Yes! Loved this. I also love the idea of New Day v Judgement Day. After Mania. It's perfect. And just because we're having fun, instead of wasting MITB on Theory, give it to Woods. You can even have a failed cash in just to further the story of Woods being the weak link, but The New Day pulls him up and help him find a way to another shot. And at Summerslam, Woods beats Edge. He gets his run. It doesn't need to be long, but all three members, being WWE Champion, is just to perfect not to happen.
or alternatively, given recent events, have LA knight win MiTB, cash in and continueing the banter Woods has already had with him, Woods goads him into a title match and wins in under 5 with the Back Woods rollup pin :P
Adam you singlehandedly make me love wrestling again just like you did all those years ago. Also, you show just how great it can be when done right. Thank you!
I know he never will, but I really hope Woods gets a chance to complete the set one day. Every member of the new day are stars and Woods is no exception
I love it, this is one of my favorite Adam’s bookings ever, it just hit so many spots right that WWE really got wrong irl: -He made Big E win the title not by taking advantage of a weakened champion but by having cash in in advance (always feels like a more natural babyface thing to do) -He also had him win the title not on a random episode of RAW but on an actual PPV, plus he kept one of Big E’s best matches on his run irl, that being the Steel Cage match with Lashley -Speaking of which, he reunited The Hurt Business in an actual logical way that wasn’t just because Lashley needed some goons for his opponent to beat, plus they didn’t quietly break up again after a few weeks for no reason -We got some awesome matches and gang warfare in New Day vs. The Hurt Business and New Day vs. The Bloodline -Big E was book as a strong champion and, technically speaking at least, got a victory in a match against Roman (which if it had happen irl you know Roman would be livid at The Usos and would further develop the storyline with them) -I absolutely loved the story with Xavier and the tension in The New Day, even if I was sure they wouldn’t break up at the end (which is absolutely the right call), had this happened irl I feel would’ve gotten a major storyline for RAW heading to Wrestlemania which was desperately missing irl with the Lesnar/Reigns stuff happening mostly on Smackdown -Also that New Day Triple Threat would been a hell of a match to see, which adds to the overall card and would given us a great moment to see all three of them embracing at the end, what an awesome visual! -Plus of course Big E wouldn’t been injured and would still be around nowadays probably -Finally, he gave Edge that one final world title run he deserves, and kept him in his JD character which I thought had lots of potential but WWE randomly ejected him from his group for no reason Overall, great job Adam!
Yep, sadly it's a very long shot. Like Daniel Bryan or Edge long shot. He is still around doing stuff with UpUpDownDown, but yeah, it's not quite the same.
Some suggestions for later videos: Cesaro Muhammad Hassan The Riott Squad Liv Morgan as SD Women's Champion Ronda Rousey's Return Damage CTRL Asuka CM Punk as World Heavyweight Champion in 2008 The League of Nations (really want this one) Paige's Debut or Return Braun Strowman Ryback (really want this one, too)
At times like this, I wonder if anyone sends these booking videos to the superstars themselves. Would love to see Big E react to this! Also would love Adam booking William Regal's 2008 GM/King/WWE Champion run.
Imagine that, friends being friends and champions winning matches. But for real though, champions need to win matches as champion and stay relevant in the title picture after losing the title to be considered a top guy. It's insane that WWE screwed numerous guys over by booking them like dorks.
This is really well done! I really like the idea of the storyline revolving around the New Day throughout Big E’s title reign, and it culminating into a New Day triple threat at Mania 38. Not to mention, your booking of Edge (w/Judgement Day) defeating Big E for the title is the perfect end to his reign. A New Day Vs Judgement Day with Edge as the heel champion leader would’ve been great to see. I would really like to see your booking of Edge’s WWE championship reign after all of these events.
I would've had Goldberg vs Big E at WM38 and the New Day triple treat at SummerSlam, just to help give Woods more credibility, like a singles US title run would be nice before he faces for the World Title.
Following Edge winning the title at the end, I would honestly link that with Adam’s “John Cena’s Final Run” story. Have Edge retire against his greatest rival in a double turn where Cena gets desperate to win #17 & desperate to be viewed as a hero to the fans. I’d eventually have Cena pass the torch to the next face of the company & drop the title to a hot babyface like Sami Zayn, or build up Johnny Gargano & give us a dream Johnny TakeOver vs. Big Match John feud.
This is really good. This way, it cements Big E as one of the top main eventers in the company. Btw, I think since you brought up Edge & Judgment Day, I think you should do that booking next after WrestleMania 39 this weekend.
Most of my wrestling knowledge is old wwf and from adams list but Big E was at a game of the Blue Jackets a few weeks back and he had a blast the video of him on the Zamboni is hilarious
I always wondered why with how WWE jumped on the women's milestones thing, they never tried to jump on the african american angle with the Rock (since Rock is in real life of african and samoan heritage). It sounds so like them to advertise that they pushed an african american to the moon during the attitude era.
The Hurt Business turned out to be amazing and creative really boned it at the time. Maybe a Rebooking the Hurt Business video in the future? I don't know.
So a possible idea, you have pete and Luke doing Monday night wars in WWE 2k23. Maybe a series of Adam doing WWE Universe mode? Also how Adam would book Vince Russo winning the WCW belt please and thank you :)
New day should’ve never been separated. They once was putting them on tv 2 times a episode. Any with the world title while the whole new day heel. Would go crazy. Then fight in a triple threat
Does this line up with the Keith Lee booking you did given Bobby Lashley was wwe champion at the end of that video? If so, it’s more good Adam universe booking !
If I had a nickel everytime Adam booked a New Day Member doing a 3 v 1 comeback against the Bloodline- I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot, but weird it’s happened twice.
This was fantastic & so emotional! But now that you mentioned it, how would you have done differently with Edge as the leader of Judgment Day if he was still with the group? It made no damn sense when he was kicked.
This one may take a little time , but could be a good one. Plus you get to live in the shoes of Uncle Eric. If the sale between WCW and Eric Bischoff actually went thru, how would you have booked WCW 2.0?
Whenever I think of Big E I remember silent just big man from when he debuted. And then remember thats the same man that cut the greatest promo in wrestling history and I quote "I PUT IN WORK ON SAMI ZAYN'S BEHIND! I SPREAD OPEN THEM BOYS CHEEKS AND SAID I'M DOIN CONSTRUCTION OUT HERE! PUT UP THE CONES PULL UP THE TAPE!". Big E is the absolute best. Ironically it sucks when wrestlers loose a last name, if anything he became better after loosing it.
"Seth *pause* Rollins" 🤣. Love you, Adam. Big E should've gone to WrestleMania in 2022 as WWE Champion and have a decent reign until that year's MITB or SummerSlam, where it ends by a well-pushed heel superstar (which is wishful thinking, I know).
Man, I want Big E back. If he wouldn't have been injured (no blaming Ridge, but god did that feel like so many things were lost by that fluke accident), I would have been screaming for The Bloodline vs. The New Day for month. Especially at Survivor Series, where it wouldn't be about the titles, but about the concept of family. The heel real family members vs. the face found family members. I'm glad Adam agrees on how good would that match would have been. Add in starting that whole thing about the importance of friendship and caring more about that than any real blood connecting them there I think would have been for a story that culminates in it being put up to the test at Mania.
1. God bless Big E Langston. 2. *Skip to **8:31* & *8:58* 3. In regards to Big E's failed WWE Championship run (which wasn't his fault), to quote Brian Zane from Wrestling With Wregret: *"How did you fk this up???"*

Should have happened after kofimania
This is perfect, love it! New Day should never be separated and i agree having them together in singles runs is far more interesting than making them just like everyone else. Hope Big E is healthy enough to come back soon!
Agreed, listening to this booking touched my heart and I wish this would have happened.
Adam's back to his Bischoff Jr look, so please do more How Adam would book WCW
This may be a long shot, but I really hope Triple H completes the set and give Xavier Woods a world title run as well
I agree 100%
Why, Big E and Xavier Woods flopped as champion, I’m sick of the world title gold watch title reigns. The world champion should be the biggest economic draw. If everyone wins the world title, being the world champion doesn’t mean much.
@@cwrisgood you mean kofi? Xavier woods hasn't won the gold yet
@@frazerrobertson2slip, but I think you understand my point. At the end of the day WWE is a business and Roman Reigns has proven how business can elevate when you have the right guy be the top guy.

Can he elevate the people he works with and has elevated any of his for we opponents?
I think him winning KOTR was his moment. He wasn’t ever gonna be pushed to the world title but giving him KOTR was a nice way to complete the set
The New Day are historic because they are one of the first mid-card groups who got creative control and showed why they are more than ready to be main-event level talent... which is what they've become.

New Day is one of the goat factions, and when the Usos inevitably induct them as a group into the HoF (YEARS down the line hopefully), that speech will be fire
Which js funny considering how hated they were
And then the New Day induct The Usos haha
We all miss Big E so much.
Probably one of the best booking videos in awhile. Loved this
Damn dude! Someone please give this man a job as a storyline writer! We need more angles and storylines with thought and care behind them and Adam always delivers.
They alrready stole his idea once 😉
This was lovely! I always wanted The New Day triple threat in Kofi's reign and then again in Big E's. I absolutely agree that they should not split up/one turn heel and this was a great way to do it.
Sending positive vibes to Big E - you are sorely missed

I hope Big E can come back at some point. He's amazing and deserves so much more than what he's gotten in the last years.
Adam you singlehandedly make me love wrestling again just like you did all those years ago. Also, you show just how great it can be when done right. Thank you!
Probably my favourite of Adam’s booking videos he’s ever done. This is just a fantastic, fulfilling and totally believable story. Loved it
If Xavier Woods ever wins the WWE Championship, he better watch out for Brock Lesnar. Considering how Brock ended the reigns of Kofi and Big E.
And Bobby Lashley. It's like Vince uses Lesnar to white wash the title
@@richborn6700 Lesnar also won his first WWE Championship back in 2002 by defeating The Rock.
To be fair, that's literally a storyline waiting to be booked.
Woods avenging his brothers.
Oh boy I was excited for this one, such a missed chance with Big E. (btw I'd love to see Adam rebook the Nightmare Collective stuff from AEW) :)
Yeah, we need the "Adam would book CMFTR VS THE ELITE"
Oh yeah. I wanted to see Awesome Kong dominate in AEW.
I know he never will, but I really hope Woods gets a chance to complete the set one day. Every member of the new day are stars and Woods is no exception
I love it, this is one of my favorite Adam’s bookings ever, it just hit so many spots right that WWE really got wrong irl:

-We got some awesome matches and gang warfare in New Day vs. The Hurt Business and New Day vs. The Bloodline
-Big E was book as a strong champion and, technically speaking at least, got a victory in a match against Roman (which if it had happen irl you know Roman would be livid at The Usos and would further develop the storyline with them)
-I absolutely loved the story with Xavier and the tension in The New Day, even if I was sure they wouldn’t break up at the end (which is absolutely the right call), had this happened irl I feel would’ve gotten a major storyline for RAW heading to Wrestlemania which was desperately missing irl with the Lesnar/Reigns stuff happening mostly on Smackdown
-Also that New Day Triple Threat would been a hell of a match to see, which adds to the overall card and would given us a great moment to see all three of them embracing at the end, what an awesome visual!
-Plus of course Big E wouldn’t been injured and would still be around nowadays probably
-Finally, he gave Edge that one final world title run he deserves, and kept him in his JD character which I thought had lots of potential but WWE randomly ejected him from his group for no reason
Overall, great job Adam!
I genuinely teared up at the end of that triple threat. Good job as always Adam.
I hope Big E. gets to make a surprise return soon....God would it be amazing to see him again. Adult tears allllll around.
i hope we see him one more time. he’s definitely been missed.
Yep, sadly it's a very long shot. Like Daniel Bryan or Edge long shot. He is still around doing stuff with UpUpDownDown, but yeah, it's not quite the same.
Totally thought this would be him booking WrestleMania
Me too
the end of adam's booking got me a lil bit emotional, just thinking about what a moment that would be. i miss big E.
That scream after 'Big 'E'xtreme rules." sent me 💀🤣
glad to have another one been here since the first on the 'other channel'
Now I’m gonna put the Jackhammer finisher on Big E now.
I didn’t think I would care about this that much tbh but I absolutely loved this! And Big E using the Jackhammer!? Awesome!
This is probably one of the best Adam has done. Loved that Wrestlemania ending
I know it's been a while since you rebooked any wcw stuff, but i'd love to see you rebook the end of Goldberg's streak.
I was waiting for this one, He really should've held the title longer.
Some suggestions for later videos:
Cesaro
Muhammad Hassan
The Riott Squad
Liv Morgan as SD Women's Champion
Ronda Rousey's Return
Damage CTRL
Asuka
CM Punk as World Heavyweight Champion in 2008
The League of Nations (really want this one)
Paige's Debut or Return
Braun Strowman
Ryback (really want this one, too)
Big E is a godsend and we all miss him. Whether or not he wrestles again, it's just relieving to see that he's okay.
Omg this was so good 😭 woods is my favourite of the 3, I always chuckle when he’s on the mic. Him having doubts would be awesome.
One of the better booking videos in a while . Hit all the right notes without going too far
3:57 The New Day were that Rarity, a unicorn you might even say
I see what you did there...😏
Was gonna watch some Wrestlemania predictions but this immediately became first priority
Throughout the chaos that is my life, this is the one constant that keeps me grounded. Thank you, Adam, for everything
At times like this, I wonder if anyone sends these booking videos to the superstars themselves. Would love to see Big E react to this!
Also would love Adam booking William Regal's 2008 GM/King/WWE Champion run.
I miss him everyday
"This booking was f***ing choice." -F. Scott Fitzgerald
That “who” moment is phenomenal
*You should definitely do a rebooking of WrestleMania 32*
He did do one back in his whatculture days he did how wwe should book wrestlemania 32 in two part vids
This was so good. Nicely done Adam! Hopefully HHH can correct this if/when Big E returns.
Imagine that, friends being friends and champions winning matches.
But for real though, champions need to win matches as champion and stay relevant in the title picture after losing the title to be considered a top guy. It's insane that WWE screwed numerous guys over by booking them like dorks.

Its like a riff on the Elite/Hangman story I like it!
I can say, dude with get THE biggest pop on his return
“You’re nothing to me…” Cracked me up. 😂
Beautiful booking
woah, that xavier deal really had me going as to how i relate to it
Most of my wrestling knowledge is old wwf and from adams list but Big E was at a game of the Blue Jackets a few weeks back and he had a blast the video of him on the Zamboni is hilarious
I always wondered why with how WWE jumped on the women's milestones thing, they never tried to jump on the african american angle with the Rock (since Rock is in real life of african and samoan heritage). It sounds so like them to advertise that they pushed an african american to the moon during the attitude era.
Adam's new hair be looking clean as hell.
I just realized the whole “new day” day one thing. This is why I love Adam.
The Hurt Business turned out to be amazing and creative really boned it at the time. Maybe a Rebooking the Hurt Business video in the future? I don't know.
This here is the universe I want to live in.
9:42 missing a certain bald man slapping his head here
I've never heard anyone pronounce 'trios' like Adam, I'm kind of all about it.
So a possible idea, you have pete and Luke doing Monday night wars in WWE 2k23. Maybe a series of Adam doing WWE Universe mode?
Also how Adam would book Vince Russo winning the WCW belt please and thank you :)
You should do how you would book Double or Nothing 2023 next.
why was this pitch so damn good it made me genuinely emotional by the end? wtf Adam?
Love the story, not sure if anyone noticed the side scroll saying "HOW ADAM WOOULD BOOK" though.
Hehehe I knew youd do the Big Meaty Men Slapping Meat. How the hell did Vince see that on his network and not made it happen XD.
Not this man making me fight back tears when he said "New Day Triple Theeat" 🥺
New day should’ve never been separated. They once was putting them on tv 2 times a episode. Any with the world title while the whole new day heel. Would go crazy. Then fight in a triple threat
The New Day are forever. They are a beacon of positive, non-toxic male friendship.
It's so nice to see them together behind the scenes, real friends.
YESSSS i almost FORGOT ABOUT HOW ADAM WOULD BOOK man what a month:)
The power of positivity compels you!
One of the rare occasions where Adam retcons an injury: _After that Booking, I'll let it slide. _*_Absolutely Stella!_*
Does this line up with the Keith Lee booking you did given Bobby Lashley was wwe champion at the end of that video? If so, it’s more good Adam universe booking !
If I had a nickel everytime Adam booked a New Day Member doing a 3 v 1 comeback against the Bloodline- I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot, but weird it’s happened twice.
I thought I was going to be against this when there was maybe a new day splot coming, but the ending Is so perfect
I personally hope his comeback leads to New day vs the Bloodline, Kofi and Woods vs the Usos, and E takes down Roman finally
Am I the only one worried that Evil Oli was going to show up when he said "what are you gonna do Oli?"
This was fantastic & so emotional!
But now that you mentioned it, how would you have done differently with Edge as the leader of Judgment Day if he was still with the group? It made no damn sense when he was kicked.
This one may take a little time , but could be a good one. Plus you get to live in the shoes of Uncle Eric. If the sale between WCW and Eric Bischoff actually went thru, how would you have booked WCW 2.0?
3:01 I spit my coffee out laughing
I'd still love to see rebooking of Cesaro and Rusev's main WWE run (especially 2014 and 2018, respectively). Maybe Daniel Bryan vs. Miz in 2018 too.
There is another universe this probably happen......and that universe is just so damn lucky.
If anyone should have the Jackhammer it’s Big E
I’m not tearing up…
I’m not tearing up…
I’m not tearing up…
This was beautiful.
To keep with the theme of WWE champions being screwed out of a good run, Rey Mysterio shouldn't have had only an hour with the WWE championship
Whenever I think of Big E I remember silent just big man from when he debuted. And then remember thats the same man that cut the greatest promo in wrestling history and I quote "I PUT IN WORK ON SAMI ZAYN'S BEHIND! I SPREAD OPEN THEM BOYS CHEEKS AND SAID I'M DOIN CONSTRUCTION OUT HERE! PUT UP THE CONES PULL UP THE TAPE!". Big E is the absolute best. Ironically it sucks when wrestlers loose a last name, if anything he became better after loosing it.
Man, this is beautiful and emotional...
Tree house matches are bloody great Adam!!!
Best outro ever, you can't run from the truth!!!!
The way Adam started the video felt like he was about to say; "Because I'm a smartarse, *DIng*"
I loved that booking. I'm Changing E's finish to the jackhammer.
This should’ve happened after KofiMania
16:15 Little did we all know Night 2 of 'Mania was coming
By god Tony Khan needs to throw you all the money to make stories even half that interesting in AEW
"Seth *pause* Rollins" 🤣. Love you, Adam. Big E should've gone to WrestleMania in 2022 as WWE Champion and have a decent reign until that year's MITB or SummerSlam, where it ends by a well-pushed heel superstar (which is wishful thinking, I know).
sat writing a dissertation tryin to find somet to watch, then this gem pops up
Man, I want Big E back. If he wouldn't have been injured (no blaming Ridge, but god did that feel like so many things were lost by that fluke accident), I would have been screaming for The Bloodline vs. The New Day for month. Especially at Survivor Series, where it wouldn't be about the titles, but about the concept of family. The heel real family members vs. the face found family members. I'm glad Adam agrees on how good would that match would have been. Add in starting that whole thing about the importance of friendship and caring more about that than any real blood connecting them there I think would have been for a story that culminates in it being put up to the test at Mania.
Only thing I’d add is Xavier Woods dethroning Edge and becoming a world champion next. He deserves a title run too.
Still hoping for How Adam Would Book The Lex Express
1. God bless Big E Langston.
2. *Skip to **8:31* & *8:58*
3. In regards to Big E's failed WWE Championship run (which wasn't his fault), to quote Brian Zane from Wrestling With Wregret:
*"How did you fk this up???"*
