On WWE RAW, The New Day experienced a significant blow when they lost the World Tag Team Championship, prompting them to declare the tag team division effectively dead. This marks a tense moment for the legendary duo amidst their recent heel transformation and renewed pursuit of tag team gold.
From Title Victory to Rare Defenses
After turning heel, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods reentered the tag team title scene with strong momentum, culminating in a victory over The War Raiders at WrestleMania 41 to claim the World Tag Team Championship. However, their reign has seen limited activity in defending the belts; they only defended the titles once on the May 26 episode of RAW, against The War Raiders and American Made.
Loss to The Judgment Day Deepens The New Day’s Crisis
Last week on RAW, The New Day put their titles on the line against The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. In a surprising turn, Balor and McDonagh defeated Kingston and Woods, ending The New Day’s championship run and shaking the division’s standing.
Somber Appearance Highlighting A Dark Chapter

Future Prospects for The New Day and Tag Team Division
The impact of this loss raises questions about the status of the tag team division and The New Day’s next moves.
