Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have mutually parted ways with WWE, marking the end of an era for one of the most successful tag teams in professional wrestling history. Their partnership as part of The New Day, which debuted in 2014, has been a hallmark in WWE, known for its charisma and championship success.
The New Day holds an impressive record with 13 WWE-branded tag team title reigns, more than any other team in the company’s history. They also secured the most SmackDown tag team titles, boasting 7 reigns, and had the longest Raw tag team title reign at 483 days.
Kofi Kingston’s last appearance on WWE television was on April 17, 2023, where he teamed up with Grayson Waller. Meanwhile, Xavier Woods has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury. Their departure highlights a significant shift, especially considering their long-standing partnership with Big E.
As fans remember Kofi’s iconic victory at WrestleMania 35 in April 2019—where he became WWE Champion—many reflect on how The New Day transformed from a gospel-inspired trio to one of the most beloved acts in modern wrestling.
JC Mateo and Tonga Loa have also left WWE recently, adding to a wave of changes within the organization. Kofi Kingston, who signed a developmental deal with WWE 20 years ago and debuted on the main roster in 2008, has had a remarkable career that includes four Intercontinental Championships and three United States Championships.
The exits mark the end of an era for two performers whose partnership became one of the most enduring acts in modern WWE. Fans are left wondering what lies ahead for both Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as they embark on new journeys beyond WWE.
