Xavier Woods says he and Kofi Kingston are both adults.
Fans have often speculated about the New Day potentially breaking up. With the group nearing its 10-year anniversary, tensions between Xabier Woods and Kofi Kingston continue to rise on WWE Raw, as they have increasingly argued in recent weeks.
Speaking with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Xavier Woods was asked about the current shift in his character and his story with Kingston.
"Sometimes brothers fight. Family fights. It’s just crazy that it has taken this long to start having a disagreement. Normally, with your friends, there are things that would come up. We had so much time with no real tension. It has been very interesting. Obviously, when you see it on TV, you think everything is imploding. That’s what you’re used to seeing in wrestling. It’s not how life is. I could argue with my brother. He can disagree with me, and we can talk about it. We’re mature adults living in 2024. If I can’t text him or call him and have a genuine conversation about a disagreement, then how strong is our friendship in the first place? It has always been in wrestling where someone gets jealous or someone accidentally hits someone and we’re fighting. The next thing you know I’m making someone bleed in the streets. If that happened, were we really genuine friends? What you’re seeing now is just a maturation of our brotherhood," Woods said.
Adam Pearce recently said that WWE Raw would celebrate the New Day's Anniversary with a special episode. More information is available here.
Fightful will have coverage of WWE Raw as it airs on November 18, as well as a post-show podcast.
