Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods Speak Out After WWE Release

 The wrestling world was shaken when news broke that Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods — two pillars of The New Day — had parted ways with WWE. Now, both men have issued heartfelt statements reflecting on their departure and their journey.

The Contract Dispute

According to reports, Kingston and Woods were asked to restructure their contracts but rejected the financial terms offered by TKO. As a result, they were granted their releases and are now under 90‑day non‑compete clauses.

Kingston’s Message

Kofi Kingston confirmed the contract situation in his statement, urging fans to never compromise their worth. “Do your best to live a life without regrets, control what you can control, always give it your all, and fight hard for what you believe in,” he wrote. He thanked fans for their support and encouraged them to pursue their dreams fearlessly.

Woods’ Reflection

Xavier Woods expressed gratitude for everyone who supported him during his WWE run, from fans to the hardworking crew behind the scenes. He closed his statement by saying: “Thank you for letting me be Xavier Woods. Thank you for giving me the confidence… to walk away as Austin Creed.”

Big E’s Tribute

On Instagram, Big E left emotional messages for both Kingston and Woods, calling them family and praising their immeasurable impact on the business. He described Kingston as a “living legend” and Woods as a “real life alchemist” whose influence has touched peers and fans alike.

Legacy of The New Day

The New Day became one of WWE’s most decorated and popular factions, holding multiple tag team championships and delivering countless memorable moments. Kingston’s WWE Championship win at WrestleMania 35 was even ranked among the greatest WrestleMania moments in history.

What’s Next?

While their next move hasn’t been confirmed, top AEW stars have already hinted at wanting Kingston and Woods to join their roster. Wherever they land, it’s clear their journey is far from over.

Final Thought

The New Day’s story in WWE may have ended, but their legacy lives on. Kingston and Woods leave behind a trail of positivity, resilience, and unforgettable matches — and fans everywhere are eager to see where their next chapter unfolds.

In short order, she lost her WWE Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan, and things only spiraled further when Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez attacked her backstage on Raw .
