Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston of The New Day recently turned their backs on Big E. Tensions had been rising between Woods and Kingston for months, and during this conflict, WWE announced they would celebrate The New Day’s tenth anniversary.
Fans eagerly awaited the anniversary, expecting a showdown between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. However, they were shocked when Big E made his return for the first time since 2022, and The New Day members unexpectedly turned on him.
In 2022, Big E faced Ridge Holland in a match on WWE SmackDown. Unfortunately, during the match, The New Day member suffered a neck injury when Holland performed a belly-to-belly suplex. Since then, he has been recovering and hasn’t returned to the ring.
When he returned on The New Day’s tenth anniversary, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods confronted him, accusing him of abandoning the faction for his personal life. Big E tried to defend himself, explaining he had broken his neck. However, Kingston dismissed it with a shocking comment, “Yeah, you broke your neck, so what?”
Xavier Woods also confronted him, telling the fans the truth by claiming, “It’s time to tell the truth; he’s never going to be medically cleared.” These harsh words devastated Big E, while Kingston and Woods set their differences aside.
In the aftermath, WWE fans, backstage officials, and fellow Superstars have turned on Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston. Amid rising tension, Xavier Woods once again called out Big E, explaining why The New Day had turned on him.

WWE Superstar Big E recently announced that he will have a small role in the upcoming Peacock TV series Laid, following The New Day’s turn on him. Xavier Woods responded by calling out his former teammates.
He expressed disbelief and frustration over their actions. He also shared a clip showing him and Kofi Kingston turning on Big E. In the clip, Kingston is seen accusing him of choosing his new life and project over them.
Since turning heel, Woods and Kingston have been heavily booed by fans who refuse to listen to their explanation. On the latest edition of WWE RAW, Rey Mysterio confronted them. He asked them not to enter the locker room and to change elsewhere.
