5-time champion to come out of retirement to defend Big E against The New Day? Exploring the possibility
Five-time Intercontinental champion Wade Barrett could come out of retirement to battle The New Day after they threw some shade at him during a pre-recorded episode of RAW set to air next week. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods recently pulled a surprising heel turn, shifting their forward path.
The duo has been through a lot in the past few months. At their 10th anniversary celebration, Woods and Kingston even dropped hints about possibly splitting up. But Big E came back to reignite their bond by suggesting he take on the role of their manager.
However, the former WWE Champion didn't receive the friendly reception he hoped for. Kofi and Woods turned against E and rejected him, questioning why he wasn't around when they were struggling and seemingly booting him from the group.
The way they handled their former partner resulted in a serious fallout in the latest RAW. Many superstars voiced dissatisfaction, and Kofi and Woods were abruptly removed from the locker room. The duo is now on the outs, alienated from much of the roster.
Heads up, spoilers ahead: In next week's episode of RAW, which was recorded after this past Monday's show, The New Day defended their actions but then shifted gears to target commentator Wade Barrett. They called him out for sticking to the commentary desk, saying he'll "never wrestle again," just like Big E. Their remarks were pointed and aimed at getting under Barrett's skin and creating some drama.
The former Nexus leader has long been rumored to be preparing for an in-ring return. While he's enjoyed his time as a commentator lately, all the teasing might just be the nudge he needs to step back into the ring. He could join forces to take on Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
While these developments hint that something significant might be coming, for now, it's just speculation. We'll have to wait and see if the former King of the Ring makes a return to the ring.
The New Day could regain its past glory
The New Day, widely regarded as one of WWE's greatest tag teams, has slowed down in recent years due to bad creative and Big E's unfortunate absence following his devastating neck injury.
However, with their shocking heel turn, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are back on track and quickly becoming one of the hottest acts in WWE once again. The energy, unpredictability, and edge they now bring have reignited fan interest.
It will be fascinating to see what lies ahead on their journey and whether Barrett and Big E join forces. If it happens, it would mark a monumental moment in WWE and a new chapter in The New Day's evolving story.
