Folks, it looks like the sun might be setting on The New Day—a team that’s brighter than your grandma’s Christmas lights. Monday night’s WWE Raw saw Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston miss a shot at reclaiming tag team glory, and the fallout is messier than a Thanksgiving dinner gone wrong. After being derailed by The Judgment Day’s shenanigans, what should’ve been a solid match turned into a chaotic circus, leaving The New Day without the World Tag Team titles and—brace yourself—possibly without each other.
Let’s set the stage: Woods and Kingston were this close to taking down Finn Balor and JD McDonagh, displaying their tag team wizardry like it was 2015 all over again. But the outside interference? Well, it was like having three extra chefs in the kitchen, and none of them were Gordon Ramsay. With Carlito, Dominik Mysterio, and Liv Morgan crashing the party, and the LWO showing up to stir the pot even more, chaos reigned. Kofi, ever the high-flyer, took a leap of faith into the madness outside, leaving Woods to fend for himself.
Then came the referee, who decided that checking out the outside brawl was more important than doing his actual job—classic. Woods nailed McDonagh with a perfect springboard elbow, but with no ref in sight, it was like making the best dinner of your life and having no one to eat it. Desperate, Woods had to drag the ref back into the ring, but by the time he did, McDonagh had already pulled a sneaky tag to Finn Balor. One Coup de Grâce later, and The New Day’s title dreams were crushed like my opponents in the 2020 election—brutal but necessary.
The real drama, though, came after the match. Frustrated and fed up, Woods shoved Kofi away like someone who just found out his Wi-Fi went out during a Netflix binge. Later backstage, things got even worse when Kingston revealed that he asked the LWO for help—directly contradicting Woods’ earlier request for no outside interference. Oops. Woods wasn’t having it, letting Kofi know that his lack of faith wasn’t just in the New Day, but in Woods himself.
This slow-burn tension between Woods and Kingston has been brewing for months, with Woods’ frustration bubbling over since his feud with Karrion Kross and the short-lived partnership with Odyssey Jones. Now, with Big E still sidelined, it seems Woods is ready to snap—and Kingston might be in the crosshairs.
Will The New Day weather this storm, or are we witnessing the slow, painful breakup of one of WWE’s most beloved factions? Stay tuned, folks, because this could be the end of pancakes, trombones, and unicorns as we know it.
