Xavier Woods talks about still having more to accomplish after 20 years in professional wrestling and his dream of becoming WWE King of the Ring not opening the doors he thought it would.
Xavier Woods is celebrating 20 years in professional wrestling in the new video posted to X.
On top of recapping his career in TNA and FCW all the way through his days as a member of The New Day, he opened up about winning the WWE King of the Ring tournament in 2021 and how that didn't open the doors to greater singles success that he thought it would and ended the video by saying that he knows he still has more to accomplish in WWE.
"I've been able to see my brothers, Big E and Kofi both go on to become heavyweight champions. I got to fulfill my boyhood dream of becoming King of the Ring. The reason that was so important to me is because through the entirety of my career, there are certain doors that have been closed to me by myself. I always figured that winning King of the Ring was my way to then open those doors that I could previously not get into. I ended up winning King of the Ring and all of those doors were still shut to me for whatever reason. So 20 years deep, there's still things that I want to do. There's still things that I have to do, honestly, and at the top of that list is becoming a single champion in WWE. I've got to prove to myself that I can do it. I have to."
This summer marks my 20th year as a professional wrestler. 20 years of traveling the world doing what I love most. 20 years and there's still so much that I want to do. Thanks for rocking with me on this journey!@WWE pic.twitter.com/k0WvN7C2TM
