What's the story?

Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods took to Twitter after being swerved again on tonight's SmackDown Live.

Kingston and Woods posted separate tweets, sharing their reactions on Kofi getting cheated on Smackdown.

In case you didn't know. . .

Kofi Kingston ran the gauntlet on tonight's edition of SmackDown Live, to earn an opportunity to go to WrestleMania and compete for the WWE title.

In one of the most heroic feats in the 20-year history of the blue show, Kofi Kingston went through 5 different Superstars to win the whole thing. Kingston defeated The Bar, Eric Rowan Samoa Joe, and Randy Orton to advance to WrestleMania.

As The New Day was celebrating the hard-fought victory, out came Vince McMahon, and announced that Kofi needed to pin one more Superstar to get his shot. "The Planet's Champion" Daniel Bryan came out to the ring, and the gauntlet match resumed.

Kingston was too exhausted by this point, and went on to lose the match. Later on in the night, The New Day was seen pondering on the idea of quitting the WWE.

The heart of the matter

Kingston took to Twitter to express his grievances. He went on to post a tweet, thanking the fans for their support.

Xavier Woods shared a lengthy post on Instagram, hinting at the possibility of The New Day leaving the company and going somewhere else.

What you see here is a physical manifestation of what we mean when we say "power of positivity". It's an emotion that you can feel, see, even touch. When you experience it coursing through your entire body there isn't anything that you can do but smile. This moment, captured in this picture, embodies this emotion and we have shared it with all of you since we came together as The New Day.... But it seems as if Vince doesn't appreciate the gravity of his actions. Ripping away @thetruekofi opportunity like that shows that he refuses to give loyalty to you when it's given to him in abundance so I think it may be time that we find our way to someplace where we can rely on that extremely simple concept.

What's next?

Kofi Kingston's underdog storyline is bound to end with a well-deserved title shot at The Show of Shows. Next week's episode of SmackDown will possibly end with Kofi somehow getting his title shot, as WrestleMania 35 is almost upon us and the WWE title match needs to be built up before the event.

It remains to be seen how The New Day's quitting storyline will play up, as we move ahead.
