The WWE universe was left stunned on a recent episode of Monday Night Raw, as Kofi Kingston dropped a bombshell during a commercial break segment. The New Day member revealed that Xavier Woods has been dealing with a nagging injury that has kept him out of action for several weeks.
The Injury That Keeps On Giving
Xavier Woods, one of the most beloved and energetic WWE superstars, hasn’t been seen in a televised match since late January. At the time, fans and pundits alike speculated that Woods was simply taking a break or perhaps dealing with a minor issue that would keep him sidelined for a short period. However, Kofi Kingston’s recent comments have shed light on the true nature of Woods’ absence.
During the commercial break segment on WWE Raw, Kingston spoke candidly about the injury, stating that Woods has been struggling with a persistent issue that has prevented him from competing. While details about the injury remain scarce, sources close to the WWE insider reveal that Woods has been undergoing extensive rehabilitation and treatment.
“It’s Been Tough on Us”
According to a WWE insider, the injury has been a significant blow to The New Day’s momentum, and Woods’ absence has been deeply felt by his teammates and fellow Superstars.
“Kofi, Big E, and Xavier have been an unstoppable force in the WWE for years,” the insider said. “Xavier’s injury has put a damper on their plans, and it’s been tough on all of them. They’re a family, and when one member is down, it affects everyone.”
A Timeline of Woods’ Absence
Xavier Woods last appeared on WWE television on January 23rd, where he was a part of the six-man tag team match against The Miz, John Morrison, and Damian Priest. Since then, he has been noticeably absent from all televised events, including pay-per-view shows.
While Woods’ injury has been a significant storyline, it’s clear that the WWE is taking a cautious approach to his return. As one source pointed out, the WWE is prioritizing Woods’ health and well-being above all else.
“We’re Taking It One Day at a Time”
When asked about Woods’ status, a WWE representative remained tight-lipped, stating that the company is taking a day-to-day approach to his rehabilitation.
“We’re not putting any pressure on Xavier to rush back,” the representative said. “He’s one of our most valuable assets, and we want to make sure he’s 100% before returning to the ring.”
The New Day’s Future
As The New Day waits for Woods to make his return, the trio is using this opportunity to regroup and recharge. According to sources, Kingston and Big E have been working on new material and have even been experimenting with a few surprise tag team partners.
While the injury has undoubtedly put a hold on their plans, The New Day remains optimistic about their future.
“We’ll be back stronger than ever,” Kingston said during the commercial break segment. “And when Xavier returns, you can bet your bottom dollar that The New Day is going to be an unstoppable force once again.”
Only time will tell when Xavier Woods will return to the WWE ring, but one thing is certain – his absence has left a gaping hole in the hearts of fans and fellow Superstars alike. As the WWE continues to navigate the ever-changing landscape of professional wrestling, one thing remains constant: the love and admiration fans have for The New Day and Xavier Woods.
