Popular WWE Star Addresses In-Ring Hiatus

WWE

WWE star Xavier Woods has addressed the statuses of himself, Kofi Kingston and Big E, stating that the New Day will return to TV ‘in due time’.

It has been a while since we have seen members of the New Day faction teaming up on WWE TV. While Big E has been out of action for over a year recovering from a broken neck, Kofi Kingston is also on the shelf, recovering from ankle surgery following an injury in March.

Woods himself hasn’t wrestled on WWE TV since losing to Dominik Mysterio on the May 15 edition of Raw.

Speaking with Josh Martinez for Superstar Crossover, Woods noted that he has been working on a number of projects outside of the ring.

Noting that the New Day will return when the time is right, he said:

“So, Kofi (Kingston) had ankle surgery, right? So during that (WWE) Draft, came over to Raw and had some matches with Dom (Mysterio) and then, I’ve just been getting big at home.

“I’ve been getting huge. I’ve been doing Dungeons and Dragons appearances, we’re (New Day) doing USFL appearances and that’s the interesting thing so, we haven’t been on TV in a minute, like a month, two months? Maybe.

“But, the thing that people don’t see is all the stuff that we do outside of the ring and we have been working relentlessly on so many other things and so we’ll be back in due time.

“We’ll be back in due time. If you look at wrestling, the landscape has changed and I love when it changes because it comes at a slow pace and then all of a sudden, you see all these faces are faces that have only been there for like six months or a year or year-and-a-half and that’s what’s kind of happening right now.

“So many people are filtering in and so as people filter in and they get established and the crowd gets to know who they are, then all of a sudden, New Day, we’re back on the attack. Gotta make space for The New Day.

One of the new main roster names, Grayson Waller, has had several interactions with WWE legends in recent weeks, including John Cena and Edge.

Waller has now issued an open invitation to the Rock amid rumors about a SummerSlam confrontation, which you can read more about right here.
