A prominent 52-year-old wrestling figure highlighted that Xavier Woods WWE booking has been disappointing, particularly alongside Kofi Kingston. The New Day recently suffered a loss in a Fatal Four-Way tag team match on RAW, with The Alpha Academy winning the bout and securing the No. 1 contender spot for the World Tag Team Championship. This defeat pushes Woods and Kingston further down the line for another title shot despite their storied history.

While The Usos currently hold the tag team titles, The New Day has not been a major force within the division for some time. Former WWE announcer Jonathan Coachman publicly voiced his dissatisfaction with how WWE has handled the tag team since their turn to villainous characters.

“The New Day. How far have they fallen? I love these guys. Xavier Woods, Kofi, in the best shape of their lives. They turned them heel and have done nothing with them. And if I’m those two, man I’m upset,” Jonathan Coachman, former WWE announcer on X

Coachman emphasized the talent and capacity still residing in Woods and Kingston, pointing out the missed opportunities from WWE’s creative team.

“Alpha Academy they win last night and become the new no.1 contenders. What are we doing with The New Day? These guys are super talented and still have plenty left in the tank,” Jonathan Coachman, former WWE announcer on X

Kofi Kingston’s Significant WWE Anniversary

In a related highlight, Kofi Kingston recently marked a key milestone, celebrating 18 years in WWE since his 2008 debut. To commemorate, Kofi shared photos from his earliest matches on Instagram, expressing gratitude for his ongoing career in professional wrestling.

Throughout his tenure, Kingston has amassed numerous accolades, including multiple tag team championships and reigns as U.S. and Intercontinental Champion. His peak achievement remains winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 by defeating Daniel Bryan, a moment that defined his legacy.

The Implications of WWE’s Current Direction for The New Day

The situation signals a troubling phase for Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston as The New Day’s momentum stalls in the tag team hierarchy. Their recent loss and lack of prominent booking suggest WWE is currently sidelining one of its most accomplished teams, despite their proven skill and popularity.

The ongoing creative neglect raises questions about the future positioning of Woods, Kingston, and The New Day within WWE’s tag team division. Fans and industry insiders alike are watching closely to see if the promotion will reinvigorate their storyline or allow their status to decline further.
