A major update has emerged on former WWE stars the New Day potentially making their AEW debuts at today’s All In London 2026 pay-per-view.

Ever since Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods parted ways with WWE when they refused to sign new contracts with their pay reduced, there was talk of them heading to AEW.

One possible landing spot has been today’s All In event at Wembley Stadium given the magnitude of the show and the magnitude of stars that they are, particularly Kingston as a former WWE Champion.

Now, it appears their debut appearance will indeed be happening today.

PWInsider Elite reports that both Kingston and Woods have been spotted in London ahead of the event, having arrived yesterday.

Moreover, PWInsider states that the belief is they agreed terms to sign with AEW last week.

There’s no word on how exactly AEW plans to debut the duo, but there is an open spot in the AEW World Trios Championship Roulette Royale match that it looks as though Swerve Strickland and New Day could fill, just based on estimation.

New Names For New Day

While they are most widely known as Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods – collectively as New Day – they will not be able to transfer those names over to AEW due to WWE owning the rights.

Instead, all signs are that Woods will revert to the Austin Creed name that he used before joining WWE in 2012, and continued using on his UpUpDownDown video games YouTube channel during his time with the company.

As for Kingston, he has been billed simply as ‘Kofi’ in appearances they’ve made at conventions together, but recently filed trademarks for his full real name Kofi Sarkodie-Mensah, as well as his initials KSM, so it seems he intends to use either his real name or initials moving forward.

They won’t be able to use the New Day team name either, with Creed having released a video on social media a number of weeks ago captioned Daybreak which could point to that being their new name.

There were also recently wrestling related trademarks filed by a new LLC company a few days ago for both Daybreak and The New Level, so it looks like those are the options.
