Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods Address Fans’ Backlash on WWE RAW

by

As a long-time fan who’s witnessed The New Day’s incredible journey, I must say this recent turn of events has left me stunned and saddened. The bond between Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E was not just a tag team alliance; it was an emotional connection that transcended the wrestling ring.

In the recent installment of WWE RAW, crowds strongly jeered Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods from The New Day. This negative reaction stemmed from the surprising act of betrayal they displayed towards their teammate Big E during The New Day’s tenth-anniversary celebration the previous week.

Kingston and Woods pointed fingers at Big E, claiming he left them in the lurch. With Big E out due to a neck injury since 2022, they vented their anger on him. This behavior sparked outrage among fans, who vocally showed their displeasure towards WWE RAW.

The atmosphere became strained behind the scenes as Kingston and Woods stepped into the arena. They were overlooked by officials, Alpha Academy, and Natalya, which left them puzzled. Later on, Kingston and Woods bumped into WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes near RAW General Manager Adam Pearce’s office. Upon greeting Rhodes, he rebuffed them and expressed his disapproval of their behavior. The duo departed, looking perplexed.

In a sit-down interview with Cathy Kelley, Kingston and Woods appear to feel secluded amidst their fellow celebrities and backstage personnel. When asked about their public rebuke of Big E, Kingston requests neutrality from Cathy, while Woods asserts they’ll clarify their actions directly to the fans.

When Kingston and Woods strode into the arena, a deafening chorus of boos filled the air. Trying to explain their actions, they were met with unrelenting jeers from the audience, who seemed determined to silence them. Aggravated, we found ourselves exiting the ring, taken aback by the hostile reception. Post-show, Kingston and Woods addressed the crowd’s unfavorable reaction.

Alright.” Recently, both Kingston and Woods have encountered criticism from fans, colleagues, and behind-the-scenes personnel, leaving them seemingly taken aback by the negative feedback.

Big E, still reeling from Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods’ remarks of last week, hasn’t retaliated yet in response to their apparent betrayal. Yet, his partner showed a forceful reaction towards Kingston and Woods after the event unfolded.
