We have now seen all of The New Day achieve their goals within the WWE.
Big E, current WWE champion, was able to have his New Day brothers, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, be there to celebrate his big win. Xavier Woods also recently had a big win of his own. It is well documented how much Woods wanted to become King of The Ring. He finally achieved his own dream at WWE Crown Jewel when he became the 2021 King of the Ring.
Since Big E was set to defend his championship right after the KIng of the Ring match, he was right there at the curtain to congratulate and embrace his long-time friend/brother. When speaking to Metro, the WWE champion walked us through the moment and relayed how proud he is of Woods.
The WWE Champion explained, “When he came through the curtain, I was the first person there, and getting to hug him and just tell him how proud I am of him was just such a beautiful moment. This man has wanted this for so long, he’s been tweeting about it, he’s been talking about it for years and years. I’m so grateful that he’s getting to live out this dream.”

Woods has also taken this title by the Reigns, pun intended.
Woods hopped on Out of Character with Ryan Satin to say the following, “First off, my cape is custom. It’s very nice. We debuted the new gear on SmackDown, the custom cape and custom jacket. As far as a custom crown, be patient. The saying goes, ‘if you give the kids the cake all at once, they’re going to get sick and they’ll never want it again.’ Piece by piece, slice by slice, until the cake is gone and as soon as the last piece is eaten, what do they want more of? Cake. We feed them slow around these parts. We have a year.” (h/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful)
This past episode of Smackdown, we saw the King get his own royal theme. We have also seen Woods get a custom cape, and we will now see him possibly get a custom crown.
“I haven’t had my own theme music, ever. For people who think I’m joking; when I first came up, I came up with R-Truth, just like I did elsewhere. Then, I somehow stole Brodus Clay’s music, which was Ernest Miller’s music before him and I think someone before that. Then, I was in New Day. Since I’ve been on the main roster, I’ve never once had my own theme music,” Woods went on to add.
Woods has waited his whole life for this opportunity, so it is safe to say he will make the most of it.
