On the recent WWE Monday Night Raw, tensions escalated within The New Day, with intense verbal exchanges between Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston coming into light.
During the Monday broadcast, the duo suffered a defeat from Alpha Academy, leading to heated disagreements backstage post-match. Kingston found himself on the receiving end of Woods’ criticism, while he retorted, asserting his constant support right from the beginning despite Woods squandering opportunities.
Countering, Woods accused Kingston of being timid in pursuing a world title opportunity, attributing his WWE Championship victory at WrestleMania 35 as his doing.
Kingston dismissively responded to Woods’ claim, saying he lacked the caliber of a world champion, unlike Kingston himself and Big E.
Woods stood his ground, reiterating his faith in Kingston and showed disappointment towards Kingston for wasting KofiMania in six seconds against Brock Lesnar.
Their trading of jabs persisted, with Kingston setting a target for the next week, aligning it with the New Day’s milestone of a tenth-anniversary segment.
Meanwhile, The Judgment Day continues to hold the WWE World Tag Team Championship, fending off The War Raiders in the recent WWE RAW episode.
Balor and McDonagh, who claimed the titles 155 days ago from Awesome Truth, secured victory with Balor setting up Ivar on the ropes for McDonagh to roll him up and get the pinfall.
The WWE RAW event also boasted of having actress Vanessa Hudgens as a part of the ringside audience. The High School Musical and Bad Boys: Ride or Die star, who is noted to be an avid wrestling fan, was seen acknowledging Roman Reigns.
