Is there any member of the WWE roster right now, regardless of brand, who uses social media more effectively to put himself over than Xavier Woods? Working solo for the first time in what feels like forever following long-term injuries suffered by Kofi Kingston and Big E, Woods has used his medium of choice to […]

Heading into the final SmackDown before the WWE Draft, Xavier Woods was feeling pretty darn good about himself. He’d secured a major win over LA Knight on the previous edition, was booked for his first-ever shot at the Intercontinental Championship, and found himself three seconds away from earning his first-ever singles title as a member […]

After spending the better part of a week hyping himself and the rest of the WWE Universe up for his Intercontinental Championship match against Gunther, Xavier Woods found himself on the losing side of the bout when the referee hit the 1-2-3 and raised “The Ring General’s” hand after his 10th-straight successful title defense. Asked […]

Big E hasn’t wrestled a match for WWE since all the way back in March of 2022, when he took a particularly brutal overhead belly-to-belly suplex outside the ring that resulted in a broken neck and an uncertain future for the former WWE Champion. Since then, Big E’s future has been very much up in […]

After securing his most important singles win of the year so far in a SmackDown dub over “The Megastar” LA Knight, Xavier Woods was riding high, so much so that he decided to poke the bear, in this case, Imperium, with his trombone to effectively lay down the challenge for Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship. While didn’t […]

While Xavier Woods was riding high after securing a surprise win over LA Knight on SmackDown, “The Megastar” was walking to the back feeling dejected… at least until Megan Morant of the SmackDown LowDown decided to ask the former Million Dollar Champion why he wasn’t able to “get the job done” in his match. Needless […]

After backing up his words on Twitter with a surprising win over LA Knight on SmackDown, Xavier Woods was riding high, so much so that, when he saw Gunther conversing with the rest of Imperium in German backstage, he decided to interject with his instrument of choice: the trombone. “So you clearly want my attention,” […]

After allowing Xavier Wood to have a moment in the sun for cutting a fun and impassioned promo on Twitter ahead of his match on SmackDown, LA Knight decided to bring a bazooka to a knife fight and put the former G4 host in his place ahead of their Friday night fight. “Let me talk […]

After finding a unique way to get onto the WrestleMania 39 card via an UpUpDownDown tie-in with WWE 2K23, Xavier Woods was in a good spot on the first SmackDown of the “new” WWE calendar year. Sure, both of his New Day teammates remain on the shelf while recovering from surgery, but the man known […]

Though their run in NXT is officially over, and the tag team run is currently on hold as both Kofi Kingston and Big E recover from injuries, New Day are still leaving an impact on WWE developmental but not in the way one team, Pretty Deadly, would like. Sitting down for an interview with Jim […]

Though their run in NXT appears to have come to an end, it’s hard to look back at Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston’s run in developmental as anything other than a success.

After schooling LA Knight both on the mic and in the ring on SmackDown, New Day, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, decided to keep up the fun on the SmackDown Lowdown, telling Megan Morant, and hopefully, the man formerly known to the WWE Universe as Max Dupri, that no one deserves a WrestleMania moment. “You […]

While the New Day are currently in the midst of a serious resurgence as the new and reigning NXT Tag Team Champions, winning the belts at Deadl1ne off of Pretty Deadly and successfully defending them for the first time on television against the duo of Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs, the high-flying, fun-loving, Booty-Os hawking […]

While Xavier Woods is most well known for his main roster run with New Day, his Youtube Channel/time on G4 as Austin Creed, and even for his early indie runs as Consequences Creed, before he was flipping pancakes and eating Booty-Os, Woods was working on his craft in FCW and eventually NXT well before the […]

New Day are the second-ranked tag team in WWE right now, trailing only The Usos due to their spot in the promotion’s top faction, The Bloodline. If in basically any other era, that would be cool, WWE has two separate brands, RAW and SmackDown, for a reason, and the two teams could theoretically co-exist on […]

There was a time when a RAW or SmackDown performer turning up on NXT was like spotting a unicorn; the developmental brand was meant to be just that, a developmental brand, and sending down a ready-made star to compete against performers still learning the ropes was viewed as inappropriate within the company. When Kevin Owens […]
