38-year-old former champion to quit WWE before Survivor Series due to growing frustration? Speculating potential move
WWE is heading toward its final Premium Live Event of 2024, Survivor Series: WarGames. Fans are already excited for the show, especially with the anticipated Civil War between the OG Bloodline and the Solo Sikoa-led faction. Meanwhile, on the Road to Survivor Series, a major segment has already been announced.
Adam Pearce confirmed during a recent episode of RAW that WWE will be celebrating the 10-year anniversary of The New Day. With growing hints of a potential heel turn from Xavier Woods, it's possible that during this special anniversary segment, Woods will finally snap and turn on his New Day teammate.
After being frustrated by his recent losses and the growing tension with his friends, Woods may decide to quit the company. However, this storyline will likely be purely for television, and Xavier will not leave WWE in real life. This angle will allow Triple H to elevate Woods' villainous persona, leading to a brief hiatus before his eventual return.
Even with his potential heel turn, The Game could have him return around WrestleMania to set up a match between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods at The Showcase of the Immortals.
It remains to be seen how the narrative unfolds in the coming weeks and whether Xavier Woods will indeed turn heel during The New Day's anniversary celebration.
WWE could add a major twist if Xavier Woods vs. Kofi Kingston takes place at WrestleMania 41
If WWE decides to stretch the potential feud between Woods and Kofi to WrestleMania 41, they could incorporate Big E into the storyline. While the former Intercontinental Champion cannot compete in the ring due to health issues, he could be brought in as the special guest referee for the match.
Including Big E in the feud would make perfect sense, as he was a core member of The New Day. Not only would this add depth to the storyline, but having the former World Champion involved would also bring an emotional element, making fans even more invested.
Additionally, Big E could return after The New Day’s potential breakup and attempt to reconcile the two stars. However, since Woods would be the one to turn heel, he would likely reject Big E’s advice and even stand against him.
The coming weeks promise to be intriguing, and it remains to be seen how the Stamford-based promotion will craft the darker side of Xavier Woods following his potential heel turn.
