Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods from The New Day were set to appear on the latest episode of WWE RAW, but they didn’t make it to the show. Their recent treatment of Big E has upset many Superstars and fans.
The New Day’s tenth-anniversary celebration saw Big E’s return as he announced he would take on the role of the faction’s manager. However, Kingston and Woods shocked everyone by betraying him. They accused Big E of abandoning The New Day. Moreover, they criticized his neck injury, claiming that he would never be cleared to wrestle again.
Following the betrayal, several Superstars, including Natalya and Alpha Academy, avoided Kingston and Woods on last week’s WWE RAW. Frustrated by this awkward treatment by fellow wrestlers, Kingston and Woods tried to address the situation in the ring. However, fans loudly booed them out of the arena by not giving them a chance to speak.
This week on RAW, Kingston and Woods faced another issue when they arrived at the arena. As they tried to enter the locker room, Rey Mysterio stopped them and said they were not welcome. Kingston, shocked by the lack of support from the locker room, questioned the decision. Mysterio told them they had crossed the line with Big E and suggested they find another place to change.
Following these words by the WWE Hall of Famer, Woods mentioned they didn’t want to share a locker room. After their confrontation with Mysterio, The New Day did not appear on the show. Recently, Kingston blamed Mysterio for their absence from RAW.

The New Day’s Kofi Kingston has sent out an explanation for their absences. Kingston took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share his thoughts on the incident, further calling out Rey Mysterio, the “locker room leader,” in his tweet. He suggested that Mysterio’s actions prevented them from addressing the crowd as planned, which is why they “could not work” and thus “went home.”
Since The New Day’s shocking heel turn, they have been losing support from their fellow WWE Superstars week by week. Now, it remains to be seen how their storyline unfolds in the coming weeks.
