Xavier Woods, former WWE World Tag Team Champion and member of The New Day, recently poked fun at WWE fans for not subscribing to Netflix Premium, only to reveal his own misunderstanding of how Netflix operates in the United States. The incident occurred during a recent episode of Monday Night Raw, when Woods and Kofi Kingston gave an interview with Byron Saxton that aired during a commercial break on Netflix’s international stream.
Woods appeared unaware that in the U.S., Netflix does not run ads during any commercial breaks regardless of the subscription tier. Instead, users encounter ads only on other platforms, not on Netflix itself. This confusion led Woods to publicly tease fans on Twitter, casting Netflix Premium as a must-have that many were apparently neglecting despite spending on other items like junk food.
Details of the Interview and Woods’ Twitter Mockery
In the interview segment shown internationally, Woods and Kingston claimed the Latino World Order (LWO) had unfairly secured a WWE World Tag Team Title shot by cheating, also accusing the group of depriving Detroit fans of watching The New Day compete for the titles. The match ended with Finn Balor and JD McDonagh retaining their tag team championships after interference by two El Grande Americanos thwarted LWO’s challenge.
Following the interview, Woods shared the clip on Twitter and added a mocking caption aimed at fans’ spending habits:
“You buy enough junk food to turn your back into an imax movie screen, but you’re too broke to buy premium Netflix. Here is what you missed #ThankGodForTheNewDay @WWE,”
—Xavier Woods (Austin Creed)
Impact and Fan Reaction to the Netflix Misunderstanding
Woods’ tweet sparked amusement and confusion among WWE fans, some of whom pointed out that his claims about Netflix ads do not align with how the streaming service works in the U.S. This incident highlights the sometimes blurry line between WWE storylines and what the superstars understand about real-world products and services, especially given Woods’ active social media presence.
The New Day, well-known for their engaging personality and playful banter, continue to draw fan attention not just for their in-ring performances but for moments like this that blend humor with honest errors. As for the tag team titles, fans remain eager to see if Woods and Kingston will get another chance to defend or reclaim championship status in future WWE events.
