Becky Lynch has publicly supported the decision by The New Day’s Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston to turn their backs on Big E during their faction’s 10-year anniversary. Despite Big E’s offer to manage the duo, the former World Tag Team Champions removed him from their group, marking a dramatic split within the team. This event took place late last year and has since sparked significant discussion among WWE fans and insiders.
Big E has not competed since 2022 due to a serious neck injury suffered during a multi-man tag match against The Brawling Brutes. The injury occurred when Ridge Holland executed an overhead belly-to-belly suplex that caused Big E to land dangerously on his neck, sidelining the former WWE Champion indefinitely.

Following Lynch’s endorsement of the faction betrayal, Xavier Woods responded to her on Instagram, explaining his perspective. Woods suggested that because Becky Lynch, known as The Man, understands the hardships of losing major titles—including their recent loss of the WWE World Tag Team Championship to Finn Balor and JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day—she could relate to the difficult position he and Kingston faced. This message highlighted the emotional and professional strains that contributed to the rift within The New Day.

He remarked on how convincingly the trio portrayed their animosity, making the storyline feel genuine and intense.
“I was watching this and my mouth was a gape [sic]. And I’m like, how? You know, I always preach, you know, be in the scene. Be in the moment, and I’m like, ‘My God, the level of these three women making me believe everything they’re saying is true. Like, oh my God, professional wrestling is real. These girls really don’t like each other.’ I can’t imagine what’s gonna happen when they get in this Triple Threat Match. I don’t know. I don’t know how this in-ring ever gets topped from this moment on.”
