Xavier Woods Didn’t Know The Finish Of Bryan Vs. Kingston At WrestleMania 35

There was a lot of interest in the Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston match at WrestleMania 35. Naturally, one of the people with the most interest was Xavier Woods who cheered Kingston on from ringside.

Now, Woods has revealed that he told people not to tell him the finish of the match. So, Woods’ reaction was as genuine as everyone else’s watching the match happen. Here is the quote from Woods’ interview with Chris Van Vliet, courtesy of Fightful:

“I didn’t know what was going to happen. I said, ‘Don’t tell me.’ If the outcome is told to me and it changes mid-match, I don’t know what I’m going to do. So, don’t tell me a thing. I knew what we had to do at the end, but I didn’t know anything after that. I assumed, but no. All of that was so real because it was something that made it all real. Not that it wasn’t real before because we got to do amazing stuff up until that point, but this was the thing that said it’s not just us having fun and having a good time and a good laugh. We created something that is worth what we believe it’s worth. Now everyone sees what it’s worth.

It’s not just wrestling. It’s not just Kofi, not just Big E, not just me, it’s everyone. Everyone who has been in a situation where you walk into work and you do everything humanly possible to move ahead and you just can’t. As you’re there and crushing it, you see so many people with no experience or very little experience or who haven’t done anything close to the things you’ve done or been through, and they’re flying past you with no one saying a word to you about you and your position. At that point and that moment, it made every decision I had made to get to WWE, get to Kofi and E, get to that WrestleMania moment; it made every single one correct. You never know if you’re making the right choice. You have an idea, but you don’t know.”

Xavier Woods and Big E rushed the ring when Kingston won the WWE Championship. They presented him with the proper title belt and lifted him onto their shoulders as the crowd celebrated an incredible moment.
