A longtime star could be headed back soon, if internal WWE documents are any indication.
Fightful learned that Xavier Woods was no longer listed on WWE's inactive list as of the January 28 episode of Smackdown. However, he didn't appear on the show, or at that weekend's Royal Rumble, so we're unsure of when he'll actually return or if he's actually been cleared. Instead, we've just noted that he's not currently on the inactive list internally. On January 13, Woods revealed he'd be missing 4-6 weeks with a torn plantaris. He's not competed since the January 7 episode of the show. He's posted photos from Europe of late and has plenty of other obligations.
Xavier Woods' New Day teammate Big E was moved to the Smackdown roster during Xavier Woods' absence.
