Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have mutually parted ways with WWE. This marks the end of an era for one of the most successful tag teams in professional wrestling history. The duo was part of The New Day, which debuted in 2014.
The New Day holds the record for the most WWE-branded tag team title reigns with 13. They also have the most SmackDown tag team title reigns at 7. Their longest Raw tag team title reign lasted 483 days.
Kofi Kingston’s last appearance was on April 17, 2023, where he teamed with Grayson Waller. Meanwhile, Xavier Woods has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury. Their departure comes after years of success, including Kofi’s historic WWE Championship win at WrestleMania 35.
The New Day was originally presented as a happy-go-lucky group before evolving into more complex characters. Their partnership with Big E became one of the most enduring acts in modern WWE.
JC Mateo and Tonga Loa have also left WWE recently, further altering the landscape of the promotion. Kofi Kingston is a former WWE champion and has four Intercontinental titles along with three United States titles.
Xavier Woods created and hosted UpUpDownDown, WWE’s gaming channel on YouTube, contributing to their popularity beyond the ring. Observers note that their exit signifies a major shift in WWE’s tag team division.
