WWE to break up a prominent faction on RAW for the first time in 10 years? Exploring the ongoing turmoil
Monday Night RAW has been undergoing a phenomenal period lately, with a brilliant roster cementing its legacy as the flagship show. There have been exciting things unfolding on the show every week. However, a prominent faction of the brand seems to be on the brink of implosion, as there has been turmoil around it lately.
The faction in question is The New Day. Ever since Big E got injured in 2022, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have been carrying the legacy of the stable. However, the group seems to be on the verge of collapse for the first time in ten years, as The Final Testament has eclipsed Kingston and Woods in recent weeks.
The possibility of The New Day's downfall arises from the fact that Karrion Kross has been injecting poison into the minds of Kofi and Xavier lately. He has been trying to sow the seeds of discord within the group. The Karrion Kross Effect has brought changes within numerous superstars in the past and The New Day could suffer the same fate with either Woods or Kingston turning against each other.
Another reason behind the potential breakup of the prominent faction on Monday Night RAW is the fact that the eight-time Tag Team Champions have not been up to par in recent years. The New Day has arguably lost its spark and WWE could split them to usher in a fresh beginning for Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
Thus, if Karrion does his job perfectly, he could convince the former King of the Ring winner to leave Kingston and achieve something on his own, like his stablemates. However, it would be heartbreaking to see Woods turn on the Grand Slam Champion, ending a decade of friendship.
Xavier Woods might betray Kofi Kingston on RAW
For the past few months, The Final Testament has been making The New Day's life a living hell on RAW. Karrion Kross and AOP are launching continuous attacks on the former Tag Team Champions and have been taking them down individually.
However, the Karrion Kross Effect could lead to Xavier Woods having a change in character and turning his back on Kofi Kingston. This could be a result of Kross' verbal influence and physical damage to Woods on RAW. While Akam and Rezar could break him physically, The Doom Walker could break him mentally.
In the upcoming episodes of RAW, the former King of the Ring winner could embrace his negative side and break his decade-long alliance with Kofi Kingston. It could be set in such a way that Xavier Woods feels unaccomplished compared with his stablemates. While Big E and Kingston both achieved success as singles stars, Woods has been unable to achieve much comparatively.
Therefore, as a result of these factors, Xavier could backstab his stablemate and embark on his singles run to achieve success. Although there are ways that he could achieve success while being a part of The New Day, Woods could choose the diabolical path and become one of the greatest heels on RAW.
