Xavier Woods taking time off due to shoulder injury
Xavier Woods is taking time off.
During a commercial break on Raw, Kofi Kingston came out and explained that he had some devastating news: Woods has been battling a shoulder injury for the last three months and now medical staff were “forcing” him to take time off in order for the shoulder to recover. Grayson Waller proceeded to “read a message” from Woods where he insulted the Memphis crowd and called them ugly.
On social media, Woods reacted to the promo by writing “BRB.”
Woods last wrestled in a dark match that was held prior to the Royal Rumble late last month. He, Kingston, and Waller lost to Shinsuke Nakamura and The Motor City Machine Guns. On television, he was last seen teaming with Kingston losing a four-way number one contender’s match for the World Tag Team titles. Alpha Academy emerged as the winners and ultimately lost to The Usos.
Since turning heel at the end of 2024, The New Day have been a fixture on Raw’s tag team division, winning the titles at WrestleMania last year. Since losing them, they have often been seen complaining about the “death” of the brand’s tag team division.
