Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods to take their betrayal too far; align with 36-year-old star? Potential Big E replacement explored
The New Day saw the rise of a new chapter this week on RAW when Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods callously turned their backs on Big E, severing their once-unbreakable bond. It was a cold-hearted betrayal that no one saw coming. The duo could stir more controversy and take things to a whole new level by adding a 36-year-old star to their group as E's replacement.
In a shocking twist, Woods and Kofi might form an unholy alliance with Ridge Holland—the very man responsible for Big E being out of action since 2022. Now that The New Day's powerhouse is officially out of the group, the faction needs muscle power. By adding Holland as the third member of the group, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston could rub salt in the wounds of their former brother.
This will not only compound Big E's physical pain but will also inflict emotional torment. Although this is an intriguing prospect, the chances of it happening are minimal. The main purpose behind Xavier and Kofi turning their backs on the former WWE Champion was the latter's unavailability when the duo was in the midst of turmoil and conflict.
The duo does not seem to have any intent of mocking the 38-year-old's injury. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were just disappointed that their so-called brother wasn't there in their time of need. Hence, they kicked Big E out on The New Day's tenth anniversary on RAW. Meanwhile, Ridge Holland is currently involved in the NXT Championship picture on developmental brand.
Hence, the chances of them aligning as a cohesive unit are quite low, and it remains to be seen what WWE has in store for the legendary team.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to pursue the World Tag Team Championship?
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have been at loggerheads with each other for the last several months. However, for the first time in a long time, they looked like a legitimate and cohesive unit this week on RAW after kicking Big E out of their group.
The duo seemed more calm and composed as if they finally found their path after months of struggling on Monday Night RAW. There is a good possibility that The New Day members might set out on a path to dominate the tag team division once again, given their recent change in attitude.
As a result, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston could challenge Finn Balor and JD McDonagh for the World Tag Team Championship. They could once again inject themselves into the tag title picture on the red brand. Given their red-hot momentum, the duo could dethrone The Judgment Day.
Meanwhile, Balor and McDonagh's title reign has been quite lackluster, and therefore a title change in the coming weeks seems plausible. Therefore, Woods and Kingston could step up to grab that opportunity on RAW.
