Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods find themselves at the center of controversy after turning on Big E and seemingly ending The New Day on last week’s RAW. The fallout continued during the December 9 episode of RAW, as the crowd in Wichita, Kansas, mercilessly booed Kingston and Woods, drowning out their attempts to explain their actions.
The crowd chanted, “New Day Sucks,” while Xavier Woods tried in vain to defend their actions, insisting, “We didn’t do anything to Big E.” Kofi Kingston attempted to take control of the narrative by quipping that they could have attacked Big E with a steel chair or sledgehammer instead. However, this only fueled the crowd’s hostility, leaving the duo frustrated and storming off without making their case.
The backlash from fans clearly hit a nerve, and Kofi Kingston finally broke his silence on December 11 with a heated message on Twitter. He wrote, “I’m still so incredibly disappointed in the people of Wichita, Kansas, for not letting us speak. I’m also disappointed in the WWE Universe for your lack of sympathy on social media platforms. I really think that if you’d just hear us out, you’d change your minds.”
Xavier Woods echoed Kofi’s sentiments shortly after RAW aired, expressing his frustration on Twitter with a blunt, “It’s like that? Ok.”
It’s evident that WWE’s decision to turn Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods heel is creating shockwaves among fans, but the overwhelming reaction suggests the company has struck gold with this storyline. The heated reception from the WWE Universe and the duo’s fiery responses only add to the intrigue surrounding what will happen next.
