Xavier Woods Discusses New Day Being Drafted To RAW, Says New Day Will Not Be Coasting
Fans can expect The New Day to still be as entertaining as ever now that they are on Monday Night RAW after the Draft.
Following the 2023 WWE Draft, Xavier Woods took to social media and addressed what’s next for he and Kofi Kingston after being drafted to Monday Night RAW from SmackDown this week.
“This past Monday, Kofi Kingston and myself, Xavier Woods, were both drafted to Monday Night Raw. Now, I’ve seen a few people saying that New Day’s already done it all. What else is there even left for them to do? My response would be you realize that we’re not here because we’re 6’5. You realize that we’re not here because we’re 275 pounds. We are here because we can talk and wrestle our asses off. So yes, we could go to Monday Night Raw and rest on our laurels, ride out the rest of our contract, collect these fat checks, pick up that Hall of Fame phone call, get our rings, and be out. But that’s not how the New Day rolls because that’s not growth,” said Woods. “If you are not growing, you are not living, and if you are not living, then you are dying, and the New Day thrives on competition, which means that we have to constantly test ourselves against every single contender in that locker room, and that means that Chad Gable, we are looking at you.
“Akira Tozawa, Shinsuke Nakamura, Ricochet, Bronson Reed, Judgment Day, JD McDonagh, we are looking at you. Imperium, with the Intercontinental Championship locked up tight; we are looking at you. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, the current WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions at the world, we are looking at you,” Woods continued. “There’s a bright, new shiny championship that Seth Rollins keeps talking about week after week, and don’t get it twisted. I respect everything that Seth Rollins has been able to accomplish in this industry. Matter of fact, he’s one of the guys from our generation to help pave the way so that the rest of us could become as successful as we currently are. But considering the fact that one of his claims to this championship is the fact that we beat Roman Reigns by disqualification, and I hold that same exact accolade, that tells me that at some point, him and I are going to have to have a confrontation. So what is left for the New Day to do? I guess you’re gonna have to tune in to Monday nights because with this exemplary roster, I feel that things are about to get very, very interesting.”

We will have to wait and see what comes next for Woods and Kofi but it looks like they won’t be slowing down anytime soon.
