Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston exit WWE—where will The New Day land next?
Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston have left WWE after over a decade with the company. Their departure follows contract disputes, with salary disagreements leading to their release. Now, speculation is growing about their next move in professional wrestling. The duo, known as The New Day, have drawn praise from former WWE star Bobby Lashley. He called their exit a missed opportunity for WWE, arguing that every major company should be eager to sign them. Lashley even suggested they would dominate if paired with his own faction, the Hurt Syndicate, in AEW.
A major offer has reportedly been proposed to bring The New Day to AEW. Several stars in the company have already expressed interest in facing them. Fans could see potential feuds with top acts like The Elite, adding fresh matchups to the promotion. AEW insiders view The New Day as a priority signing. Their experience and popularity make them a strong fit for one of the promotion’s leading factions.
With their WWE contracts now ended, Woods and Kingston’s future remains uncertain. AEW appears to be the most likely destination, given the interest from its roster and management. If signed, they would bring years of tag team expertise to a growing division.
