WWE recently revealed upcoming matches involving The New Day, prompting a sharp response from Kofi Kingston. Despite their recent loss of the World Tag Team Championships, Kingston expressed frustration over WWE’s unwillingness to grant his team a title rematch, igniting tension between the duo and the company.
The New Day’s Recent Struggles and New Direction
Since The New Day turned heel and distanced themselves from Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have undergone a significant transformation, adopting a fresh look and new presentation on WWE television. Their efforts paid off when they captured the World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 41. However, after a single successful title defense, they dropped the belts to The Judgment Day during the June 30 episode of RAW.
Following this defeat, The New Day has pressed WWE management for a rematch, but so far, their requests have not been fulfilled. Instead, WWE announced that The New Day will compete against The Creed Brothers and LWO in a Triple Threat match on RAW to determine the next number one contenders for the World Tag Team Titles.
Kofi Kingston addressed this decision on social media in no uncertain terms, tweeting,
“What?! This is unfair! You just can’t stand giving me title rematches, huh?! Unreal…,”

The New Day Mourns Their Title Loss and the State of the Tag Team Scene
Since losing their championship, The New Day has visibly mourned the setback, appearing in all black attire during recent WWE appearances. They have actively sought a rematch, including discussions with Adam Pearce, yet their efforts have not yielded the desired outcome.
Xavier Woods shared a poignant social media post, showing The New Day attending what resembled a funeral. He described the tag team division as “dead” after their title loss but expressed hope that they would revitalize it in the future.
Potential Impact on The New Day and WWE’s Tag Team Division
The ongoing denial of a rematch not only adds to Kingston’s frustration but also raises questions about the direction of WWE’s tag team division, a landscape The New Day has long helped shape. Their upcoming Triple Threat match holds significant importance as it could determine whether they regain a shot at the titles or if new challengers will seize the spotlight. Fans and observers will be closely watching to see if The New Day’s efforts reignite momentum within this division or if WWE’s decisions will further complicate the tag team scene.
