Former WWE Star Says Xavier Woods Would Struggle If WWE Split New Day

A bit of a hot take here, as former World Heavyweight Champion Booker T has suggested that Xavier Woods would struggle as a singles star if WWE decided to break up the New Day.

This comes after Booker T suggested on his podcast that WWE should actually break-up New Day, as he said that the group doesn’t actually have a lot of mileage left as an act.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T said that he thinks Xavier Woods wouldn’t work as a singles star. Booker T said that he doesn’t think a lot of New Day’s ideas don’t come from Woods as he is “off into that video game world”

“I look at being in a group like that kind of like a stepping stone.  You kind of have two careers out of a situation like that.  Someone like myself, being in a 10 year tag team relationship with my brother, and then breaking out into singles, it was like I was brand new again.  The only person I see that working for is Big E as far as being something new because Kofi’s been a singles wrestler for many years before he was with The New Day.  Xavier Woods, being a guy who, I don’t know?  Xavier Woods seemed like he was in the right place at the right time, jumping in with The New Day and creating that nucleus.  The thing is, I really can’t really see a lot of The New Day’s ideas being Xavier Woods because he’s off into that video game world.  I just wonder, where do they go from here?”

For what it’s worth, I think Booker T is being incredibly harsh here. Xavier Woods has shown himself to be an incredibly charismatic individual, and there is no reason he couldn’t have a great singles career.
