Be mad at Shelton for not being able to keep the tag team championships. Be mad at all your favorite tag team for not being able to step up against your boys.”
“Be mad at them, don’t be mad at us for doing our job. All we do is go out there, we entertain, and we win championships. That’s it. Don’t be mad at us, be mad at your favorites.”

During their backstage interview, New Day also commented about their WrestleMania challengers Omos and AJ Styles. Kofi stated that Omos maybe big giant but he don’t know how tag team champions feels like.
“Omos? The big giant? He is the tallest person in the room and maybe the strongest. But what he is not is the WWE tag team champion. He doesn’t know what it feels like. You can’t blame him for trying to go up against the best. That is what we are looking for. We are looking for people to step up. Step up and make a statement. Your first match at WrestleMania? That hasn’t been done since Big E?”
Xavier Woods also added that Omos didn’t even have proper Wrestling gear.
“But I want to shine some light on is that before E had that match, we saw E in his gear. We saw that he could do some damage. Well, in proper wrestling attire. Does this man Omos have gear?”
