WWE News – Xavier Woods On Getting Drafted To RAW, Bad Bunny/Damian Priest, More
Xavier Woods cut a passionate promo on himself and Kofi Kingston after getting drafted to WWE RAW. Woods said,
“You realize that we’re here not because we’re 6’5″. You realize that we’re not here because we’re 275 pounds. We are here because we can talk and wrestle our asses off! So yes, we could go to Monday Night Raw and rest on our laurels, ride out the rest of our contracts, pick up those fat checks, pick up that Hall of Fame phone call, get our rings, and be out, but that’s not how The New Day rolls because that’s not growth! If you are not growing, you are not living! And if you are not living, you are dying! And The New Day thrives on competition, which means that we have to constantly test ourselves against every single contender in that locker room! And that means that Chad Gable, we are looking at you. Akira Tozawa, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bronson Reed, Judgment Day, JD McDonagh, we are looking at you. Imperium, with the Intercontinental Championship, locked up tight, we are looking at you. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, the current Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions of the World, we are looking at you!”
“And there’s a bright new shiny championship that Seth Rollins keeps talking about week after week. And don’t get it twisted, I respect everything that Seth Rollins has been able to accomplish in this industry. As a matter of fact, he’s one of the guys from our generation to help pave the way so the rest of us have been able to become as successful as we currently are. But considering that one of his claims to this championship is the fact that he beat Roman Reigns by disqualification, and I hold that same exact accolade, that tells me that at some point, him and I going to have to have a confrontation. So what is left for The New Day to do? I guess you’re going to have tune into Monday nights because I assume with this exemplary roster, I assume that things are going to get very, very interesting.”
Now that we have officially been drafted – What is there for @truekofi and myself to even do on @WWE Monday Night Raw???? pic.twitter.com/XWfeOlqe0s
