Update on WWE’s Efforts to Keep Xavier Woods

Recently, WWE fans were taken aback by the news that The New Day, a popular wrestling trio, would be departing from the company. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods decided to part ways after declining to restructure their contracts for lower payouts. This decision left many wondering about the future of Xavier Woods with WWE.

According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, WWE is interested in retaining Xavier Woods under a new contract similar to Tyler Breeze’s. The proposed deal would involve compensating Woods for his work related to video games. However, it remains unclear if Woods is inclined to accept this offer as his thoughts on the matter are yet to be confirmed. Should he choose to stay, it would mean that not all members of The New Day will be making the move to AEW, as previously speculated.

There is a possibility that Woods might accept the offer, considering WWE’s efforts to retain him for other projects. This situation is reminiscent of Tyler Breeze’s experience in 2021 when he was released from his WWE contract. Despite his departure, Breeze continued to work with WWE through their UpUpDownDown channel, collaborating with Woods on various gaming streams centered around the MyGM mode of the WWE 2K game series.

The UpUpDownDown channel, launched in 2015, has amassed over 2.44 million subscribers, with Woods being a prominent figure on the platform for several years. However, there has been a noticeable absence of new content on the channel in recent weeks, raising questions about its future direction.

In conclusion, the wrestling world awaits Xavier Woods’ decision regarding WWE’s contract offer. With the potential to continue working on video game-related projects, Woods may choose to stay with the company despite The New Day’s departure. As the situation unfolds, fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for Woods and his involvement in WWE.
