WWE SmackDown Star King Woods recently spoke with Metro.co.uk on how The New Day has always wanted to turn heel because of how much fun it is.
King Woods said:
“Yeah! One hundred percent, I’m a horrible person.” “It’s just super fun to scream at little kids, ’cause when we were heels before, our stuff would see kids getting legitimately mad and upset at us. It’s just so much fun to be snarky, to be rude and disliked. Honestly, we have [wanted that] the entire time, we’ve always wanted to turn heel. It’s just so much fun.”
King Woods also talked about how because of the charity work he's been doing it just doesn't make any sense right now to turn heel and when the group started out they tried to be babyfaces, but they were being booed, though in the long run fans started to cheer them, so they had to turn babyface.
King Woods said:
“What I’m doing in the ring dovetails so well into all the things I wanna do outside of the ring.” “As far as just charitable work, just telling my story with my issues with depression and mental health. I just don’t think it makes a lot of sense right now.”
“The beautiful thing is our turns kind of happened organically. In the sense that we tried to be babyfaces right out of the gate, people were not having that so we became heels. And then we just got cheered for so long, so eventually, we had to turn.”
King Woods then talked about how a heel turn would only happen if it is something that feels natural, but due to how they are positioned right now and the reactions they are getting from the fans he does not see a heel turn happening any time soon.
King Woods said:
“My feeling is if we do turn, it feels organic and it feels natural again. Unfortunately, we’re in a position right now where our reactions are pretty damn good. So, I don’t see that happening any time soon, but who knows? They will always remember that moment of when, ‘I cheered for this guy against The New Day, he threatened to ground me but my guy beat him.’ I love that dynamic.” “It’s so much fun and we think about it all the time, but these people won’t stop cheering for us. These people like their pancakes and their Booty-Os too much.”
