The New Day, The Bar and Drew McIntyre In-Ring Segment: 

At WrestleMania, Kofi Kingston made millions of people cry tears of joy, who’s an A+ player, with extra credit. That man broke his foot off betwixt the vegan cheeks of Daniel Bryan and became your new WWE Champion. The New Day showed up on Raw in an effort to make history. Are we talking about the split Big E did last night? Big E proceeds to deliver another split in the center of the ring. Kofi came so close to becoming a dual champion, just like The Man, Becky Lynch. As nice as that would’ve been, it’s good to be home on the blue brand. You might know The New Day for their shenanigans and foolish things, including a lot of butt stuff.

If we can be serious, we’re here to celebrate the career of a man they call their friend and brother. We are here to celebrate the career of Kofi Kingston. Xavier Woods says that Kofi was one his heroes growing up in the wrestling business. They got this together out of the mud. The bond they share is special. They tried to reshape culture and change history. On Sunday, at WrestleMania, that’s what Kofi did. On behalf of him, Big E, and everyone watching, we love you and congratulations.Kofi is at a loss for words. This is an impossible moment. It wasn’t supposed to happen. It wasn’t in the cards, but here we are.

Kofi gives a shoutout to his family who’s sitting in the crowd. They inspire him to be the best and they’ve supported him unconditionally since day one. The Bar interrupts this very special celebration. Kofi owes The Bar a big thank you for saving his ass. Seth Rollins would be the WWE Champion if it wasn’t for them. Kofi almost lost the title in his first title defense. It isn’t because you are a B+ Player, but because The New Day wasn’t there at ringside. Cesaro challenges The New Day to a 6-Man Tag Team Match. Big E wants to know who will be The Bar’s partner? Cesaro says they made a friend on Raw. Drew McIntyre walks down to the ring and stares down The New Day.
