Book lovers, don’t you dare be sour! Clap for The Book of Booty and feel the power! That’s the title of the long awaited book by the New Day, yes it is.
Actually the full title is The Book of Booty: Shake It. Love It. Never Be It., which is a bit of a mouthful but has that New Day charm. The book is now available for preorder, and is credited to the three members of the New Day, alongside writers Greg Adkins and Ryan Murphy (not the same Ryan Murphy who makes TV shows, obviously). Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E unveiled the book in their inimitable style in a YouTube video:
As mentioned in the video, more on the book can be found at bookofbooty.com. Big E also offered some perspective on its contents on his Twitter account, starting with the fact that it’s not as butt-centric as the title might imply.
Our book isn’t about butts, but you should still buy it. It’s mostly about turning lemons into lemonade, lemon squares, lemon cough drops, lemon meringue pie, and a whole host of citrus products & shamelessly shilling & profiting off the sale of the aforementioned products. https://t.co/5QBp0ZMbvV

Reading between the lines, the “making lemons into lemonade” theme makes sense for a trio who were saddled with a gimmick nobody liked and evolved into into one of the most consistently fun acts in WWE of the past several years, as well as becoming the longest-reigning Tag Team Champions in WWE history. They’re known for their amazing Halloween costumes and topical comedy segments, but also for delivering amazing matches in the ring. Whether their book offers real insight into their careers or is just full of goofs, it will almost certainly be a fun read.
