“I’ll be waiting” – The New Day’s WWE exit raises uncertainty

The New Day’s WWE run came to an end when last month Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods announced their exit. Meanwhile, the duo’s departure has raised uncertainty, and Tyler Breeze recently addressed it.

After WrestleMania 42, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods announced their exit from WWE and officially parted ways with the Stamford-based promotion. The decorated tag team’s departure did create a void in the tag team division, but there was hope that Woods might not go away entirely.

According to a report, the company was trying to cut a deal where Xavier Woods would work for them and cover content around their games. Speaking on Love Wrestling, Tyler Breeze was asked about the multi-time WWE Tag Team Champion and what’s next for UpUpDownDown.

The former NXT Tag Team Champion wasn’t able to give a straight answer, as he was not in the place to answer on behalf of Woods. However, Breeze, similar to the audience, isn’t sure what’s next for UpUpDownDown and uncertain on what’s next for the show.

“He’s just chilling, you know what I mean? Like, he’s been on the grind; business stuff happens. Not my place to talk on any of it. So, you saw as much as I saw, you know, where’s he at now, and that’s kind of where we’re at. So, I’ll be waiting to see the headlines when you see them as well,” Breeze said.

Why did The New Day decide to leave WWE?

In 2014, The New Day was created under WWE’s old regime, and the trio of Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods took over the tag team and singles division in the coming years. E and Kingston have won the WWE Championship in the past, and Woods has dominated tag team wrestling with the duo on different occasions.

According to reports, the duo of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were asked to restructure their deals, which they signed last year in the promotion. The two weren’t on the same page with the promotion and decided to leave instead of taking less pay.

The decision might benefit the legendary tag team, as several promotions, primarily AEW, are interested in the duo. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods in the industry following their exit.
