The New Day are still the WWE World Tag Team Champions, and they’re getting closer and closer to a year with the titles. To say their run has been successful would be an understatement, it’s been historic.
All three members of the stable appeared on the Sam Roberts Podcast to discuss their title reign, Big E’s dancing, and the creation of Booty-O’s.
You can listen to the full interview right here. Below is what Xavier Woods had to say about how the trio came up with Booty-O’s:
What were the origins of Booty-O’s?
“I think it was, like, last November. We were just in the car. We always try to push and see, like, what we can do. And so, we came up with the idea, like, ‘oh, maybe like a cereal. It’s like, Booty-O’s. We can make a cereal called Booty-O’s.’ And so, I contacted a guy on Twitter who’s a very good artist and commissioned him to draw up what it would look like if we had a cereal box. And then, the next day on [WWE Monday Night] RAW, we just said, ‘Booty-O’s! They make sure you ain’t booty.’ Just said it.
And then, we got two things of fan art, whatever, on Twitter. And then, that Friday, we released the picture that the guy drew, that we had the guy draw. Then, we said it again the next Monday. Then, that next week, tons of fan art. Then, they came to us, like, ‘eh, what’s this Booty-O’s thing? We need to do something.’ And it’s like, we literally willed it into existence and it feels real good.”
