New Day Talks About Creative Freedom and Turning Down Promo Ideas

The New Day was interviewed by Gadgets 360 and spoke about how much creative freedom they have in WWE and their freedom to rework some of the probably horrible promos WWE writes for them:

“We have a long leash for sure. That’s taken time to get trust from the higher ups and people of importance. But yeah, we don’t write everything,” says Big E. “A lot of times we’re given scripts and we disagree with the script’s directions and we have some leniency to retool. A lot of times it’s ‘hey we need an overhaul and none of it works’ and sometimes it’s just a few tweaks here and there.”

“We’ve been very fortunate. A lot of talent really don’t have that ability to just say ‘hey I want to rewrite this promo’ but it’s really helped us,” he adds. ” And one thing we’ve noticed too is that as much as we – as a company- try to attach ourselves to pop culture, we felt also that a lot times they were a little outdated or a little bit, outside of their window of freshness.”
