Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods told WWE, “Nah, it’s a New Day!”

<p>Good morning, pro wrestling fans. Kofi and Austin Creed, the wrestler formerly known as Xavier Woods, wished WWE best of luck in the company’s future endeavors. And if that’s not a signature move, I don’t know what is.Once upon a time, Big E and Kofi Kingston were a tag team on a losing streak. After yet another loss, this time to Ryback and Curtis Axel, God bless, Xavier Woods came to the ring with a microphone and declared that together they could find purpose and take what they wanted.Short-sighted fans immediately said this would be a new Nation of Domination. The creative genius inside Titan Towers said they should be preachers. But Kofi, Woods, and Big E turned WWE’s creative failure into the Power of Positivity, which was a vehicle that translated their real life personalities into on-screen personas. Same thing Steve Austin did to become Stone Cold. He told Vince, “I have a bald head, a goatee, black trunks and black boots. If you take away my personality, I can’t compete. But if you let me keep my personality, I can compete with anybody in the world.” He went on to become one of the GOATs.And so did the New Day. 13-time tag champs. Xavier Woods, King of the Ring &amp; the creator of Up Up Down Down, do the math on that. Big E, WWE Champion. And of course, WrestleMania 35. Kofimania. No disrespect to any other world title in the company, but the WWE Championship goes back to 1963. The company was known as the Capital Wrestling Corporation and was part of the National Wrestling Alliance. That year, they left the NWA and rebranded themselves the World Wide Wrestling Federation, or the WWWF. Kofi was only the 2nd black man to hold that title, after The Rock. Same company where HHH can tell Booker T, to his face in the middle of the ring, “somebody like you doesn’t get to be world champion.” In the 63 year history of the company, there’ve only been 4 black WWE Champions - Bobby Lashley and Big E being the other 2. That means ½ of that list were members of the New Day.It was a big deal because nobody trusted WWE to make it happen. That’s why MVP and Shad Gaspard cried when Kofi raised that title. 2024, the New Day had a full circle moment. This time, Kofi &amp; Woods were the tag team on a losing streak, only this time, they were in the ring to celebrate 10 years of the New Day. Big E, injured and out of action, played the role of man-on-the-mic attempting to galvanize the team and return to form. “I’ll be in your corner every week.” Then Kofi &amp;
