The New Day To Challenge The Judgment Day For WWE World Tag Team Titles On 9/16 WWE Raw

The New Day will challenge for the gold.

On the September 9th episode of WWE Raw, Kofi Kingston told his New Day teammate Xavier Woods that he got them a shot at the WWE World Tag Team Championship on the September 16th episode. Kingston noted that he scored them the title shot while Woods was off having fun and cosplaying at DragonCon. Woods said he thought that they were going after singles titles, but tag team championships meant money in winner's purse as well, so they could keep building their legacy.
