Injured Superstar could be out until 2021

Xavier Woods is out with an Achilles injury and there is no exact date for his return. The New Day member has revealed that he could be back in 4-5 months or in the worst-case scenario, only in time for WrestleMania 37!

Talking on WWE's new, The New Day: Feel The Power podcast, Woods said:

“Maybe I'll be back at, like, Survivor Series next year, but maybe not. Maybe I'll be back by 'Mania the year after next, but, like, maybe not. So the chances of that are very low that I would come back that late, but just the fact that there is a percentage chance that could happen, for lack of a better term, like, it just makes me sad."
