As we've seen so far, he seemly turning heel for the first time in his career along with Big E and Xavier Woods. Your guys opinion, will his heel turn work out or he's just need to go back to being a babyface but be edgier?

I think the jury is still out. He really hasn't done anything yet. This isn't the ideal way I expected/hoped it would happen. But we need to see if he's going to have a voice & be vocal, or be in the background behind Woods.

The way I look at it, the guy hasnt done anything worth remembering as a face since late 2009 so it cant hurt to try to breathe new life into his character. Either we get happy face Kofi who will continue to be a decent midcarder at best for the rest of his career or turn him heel and give his career one last chance. I like the fact they're giving Kofi a chance to prove himself as a heel.
The only part of this new stable im unsure of is Big E/Kofi's tag team finisher. It just looks like a move someone would do middle of a match, not to finish someone off. When I think of double team finishers I think of big moment moves like the 3D, Twist of Fate/Swanton, Double RKO, Snapshot, Doomsday Device. Their finisher got no reaction from the crowd on Main Event. Hopefully its just a placeholder till they come up with something better.

Really excited to see where it goes.
I actually really like Kofi and I hope this breathes new life into him.

Kofi was so stale and bland before this new storyline. I'm not normally the one to say "TURN HIM HEEL!!" just for the sake to change a guy, but this can actually freshen up and benefit his character. This is definitely the right move.

Well if they continue to not do anything of note than I'm going to say it's bound to fail...

It's a matter of how committed WWE will be to it. If WWE doesn't make it a high priority, then of course it will "fail".

Kofi has nothing to lose with the heel turn imo. He's insanely stagnant. If this nation thing doesn't work out, Kofi can go right back to doing exactly what he did before. The guy hit the midcard ceiling about 4 years ago. At least they're trying something new. He's not going to stop being a super freak athlete and he can always go back to getting those spot pops as a generic baby face.

In order for a Kofi Kingston heel turn to be extremely effective, the WWE has to let him swim. If the WWE is not going to be invested with Kofi, he will then sink.

It will be great. I'm sure Kofi has a lot of anger built up that he can let out from being stuck in the mid card for so long as a face.

It could be extremely strong or fail because how many kids and fans are behind him.

Any good wrestler should be able to play roles of face and heel well. Kofi is simply at the mercy of WWE's booking.

This is the most excited I've been about anything Kofi related. Dude looks like he can play a great heel. He's been doing really nothing since he debuted, so maybe this turn could a good change for him.

When i saw xavior's promo after the Kofi/Big E match against Rybaxel....I was like "Oh sh*t....New NOD?"
Might not really be what's really going on, but would be interesting.

This heel turn is meaningless without sustained support/interest from creative. It does allow Kofi room to develop his character but without WWE giving a crap? it will be for nothing and they will soon be the new 3MB.

Smart and necessary move. I love Kofi, but he was stuck in a rut. And he wasn't going to get out while kissing babies and high five'ing himself. Now is the time for him and Big E to make it to the next level. I'm hoping for the best for both of them.
