The New Day’s Recent Triumph as Tag Champions
Alongside his digital achievements, Xavier Woods continues to find success in WWE. Teaming with Kofi Kingston, the duo currently hold the World Tag Team Championships on RAW, a victory they secured at WrestleMania 41 by overcoming The War Raiders. The partnership between Woods and Kingston remains one of the most recognized alliances in WWE today.
Reactions to the New Day’s Recent Character Shift
Veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter offered his analysis of the faction’s recent turn to villainous roles on WWE RAW. This shift has created buzz among fans and insiders, with many pointing to the evolving dynamics within The New Day.
Big E, once part of this celebrated trio, suffered a neck injury in 2022 and has not returned to the ring. Last December, Big E proposed to manage Woods and Kingston, but the group decided against it and criticized him for his absence during their challenging times. Apter discussed the emotional remarks The New Day directed at Big E during an appearance on Sportskeeda’s The Wrestling Time Machine podcast.
“When we talk about Big E, they kept telling him, ‘Go back to your desk job;’ they were probably talking about his role as a broadcaster. But they had a really strong thing. ‘If you really cared about us, where were you all these weeks? We see you on other WWE shows talking happily and all that, but you never came to us.’ And I thought, ‘You know what? They’re right!’”
