The New Day has been one of WWE’s most beloved factions for over a decade. Together, Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods captured the hearts of fans and racked up an incredible 12 Tag Team Championship reigns. But now, that chapter has closed — Kofi and Woods have officially parted ways with WWE.
The Departure
Reports confirm that Kingston and Woods mutually agreed to leave the company after contract restructuring talks with WWE and TKO fell through. Their exit has quickly become one of the most talked‑about stories in wrestling, sparking reactions across WWE and even AEW circles.
Big E’s Response
Shortly after the news broke, Big E shared a striking piece of fan art online. The image depicted Woods and Kingston tossing their New Day gear into a trash can — a nod to the iconic Spider‑Man No More comic panel where Peter Parker walks away from his superhero identity. It was a symbolic way of acknowledging the end of an era.
A Complicated History
This isn’t the first time the New Day has faced upheaval. Back in 2024, Kingston and Woods turned heel on Raw and kicked Big E out of the group. Around the same time, E suffered a serious neck injury during a match with Ridge Holland, sidelining him indefinitely. Since then, he’s transitioned into a role on WWE’s broadcast team, while his former partners continued competing.
What’s Next?
With Kingston and Woods gone, questions swirl about their future. Will they explore opportunities in AEW or elsewhere? Could we see a reunion outside WWE? For now, nothing is confirmed, but fans are buzzing with speculation.
