Kofi Kingston to ditch Xavier Woods and replace him with 52-year-old WWE legend soon? Analyzing potential twist
The New Day seems to verge on breaking up on WWE RAW. Multiple seeds have already been planted, and with each passing week, tensions are escalating between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. However, in a potential twist, Kofi might betray Woods first and replace him with R-Truth in his alliance.
This speculation arises from the growing bond between Kofi and Truth. During a recent episode of RAW, the former WWE Champion stood up against Pete Dunne, even though the situation primarily concerned R-Truth. Kingston had nothing personal business to handle with Dunne, but he eventually locked horns with The Brusierweight due to the 52-year-old veteran.
This led to visible frustration from Xavier Woods, who questioned why Kofi would involve himself in Truth’s business. With this in mind, it’s possible that before Woods snaps on the former WWE Champion, Kingston might ditch Xavier and bring R-Truth into the fold as a replacement.
Additionally, Truth and Kofi previously teamed up in 2012 and won the Tag Team Titles. So the veteran could help his former tag team partner deal with Woods’ potential villainous turn.
The WWE Universe would likely embrace the pairing of Kingston and the former 24x7 Champion, which could provide a fresh angle while effectively utilizing Xavier in the storyline. Furthermore, this would explain the veteran’s recent involvement in The New Day’s storyline.
As things unfold in the coming weeks, we’ll see whether Kofi Kingston already has a backup plan to counter a potential heel turn from Xavier Woods.
What could be next for Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods after their potential breakup in WWE?
After the highly likely breakup of The New Day, it’s possible that both members could feud with each other and eventually be involved in a series of matches. Their rivalry could culminate at next year’s WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. This allows the Stamford-based promotion to book them in separate feuds heading into WrestleMania 41.
A potential direction for Woods post-Royal Rumble could be an Intercontinental Championship feud against Bron Breakker or whoever holds the title on the road to The Showcase of The Immortals. As for Kingston, Triple H might book him in a rivalry with a villainous star on the red brand.
Breaking up The New Day after such a long tenure would undoubtedly be a major decision that impacts the landscape of Monday Night RAW.
It will be interesting to see how the Chief Content Officer plans to utilize both Kofi and Woods following their potential split on the red brand.
