It’s a known fact that WWE likes to decide everything that is going to be done or said on TV in advance and in most cases, all the promos cut by the stars on the Live Television are pre-approved.
Though it appears that the current SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions The New Day are an exception to this rule and according to them they have the freedom to choose their lines on TV.
During a recent interview with William Mullally, the trio was answering a question about having creative control over their character and during it Kofi Kingston claimed that they have the freedom to say what they want to say as long as it hits:
“A lot of times, when we are given stuff to say, we just say what we want to say. As long as it hits… that is all Vince cares about. Even when he doesn’t agree with what we want to say, he looks at the crowd, sees everyone having a good time and trusts that we’re able to deliver.”
Though later Big E explained Kofi’s comments saying that this wasn’t always the case and they have worked hard for years to gain such trust. The full interview of the Tag Champs can be seen below, the above mentioned comments start at the 6:25 mark:
