Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston failed to capture the WWE World Tag Team Championships on WWE Raw, losing to Finn Balor & JD McDonagh.
The New Day had The Judgment Day defeated, but as Woods pinned McDonagh, the referee was dealing with the brawl on the outside between Kofi, Judgment Day members Dominik Mysterio and Carlito, and the LWO (Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro, & Dragon Lee).
In the ring, Balor hit the Coup de Grace on Woods to secure the win.
After the match, Woods rejected consolation for Kingston, saying he was "tired of this" and that something needed to change.

This was the first successful title defense for Judgment Day.
In the back, Woods yelled at the LWO for getting involved. Kingston said he told LWO to have their back. Woods said, "Now we need help? We never needed help before." Kingston replied, "We never needed help because we had Big E. Now it's just us." Woods took that as a slight against him and walked away.

Big E has been sidelined with a neck injury since March 2022 and it is unknown if he will return to the ring.
