Xavier Woods Says New Day Is ‘Working Relentlessly’ On Outside Projects, Will Return Soon

Xavier Woods talks New Day’s recent absence from WWE TV.

Xavier Woods is the only member of The New Day currently not on the injured reserve list. Still, he hasn’t competed on television since the July 15 episode of Monday Night Raw where he lost to Dominik Mysterio.

Now, Xavier Woods is addressing New Day’s whereabouts, noting that all the members have been working on projects outside of WWE, but he enjoys seeing the changing landscape of the promotion and believes The New Day will be back soon. 

“So we haven’t been on TV in a minute, what, like, a month, two months? The thing that people don’t see is all the stuff that we do outside of the ring. So we have been working relentlessly on so many other things. So we’ll be back in due time, we’ll be back in due time. If you look at wrestling, the landscape has changed. I love when it changes because it comes at a slow pace, and then all of a sudden, you see all these faces are faces that have only been there for like six months, or a year, or a year-and-a-half. That’s what’s kind of happening right now. So many people are filtering in. So, as people filter in and they get established, and the crowd gets to know who they are, then all of a sudden, New Day *claps* we back on the attack,” Woods said to Z100’s Josh Martinez on Superstar Crossover.

Kofi Kingston recently suffered an ankle injury that required surgery. He recently noted that he was testing out “WWE Superstar” things at the WWE Performance Center. Read more here.

However, he feels as though he’s 100% despite the fact he doesn’t have a current timetable for when he will know for sure about his future. Read more here.
