WWE aims to keep Xavier Woods for video game content

Xavier Woods from The New Day is bidding farewell to WWE after declining the proposed contract restructuring. Reports indicate that the company is eager to retain Woods for his involvement with WWE’s gaming projects.

Various sources, including Bryan Alvarez from Wrestling Observer Live, have hinted at WWE’s efforts to keep Woods on board similar to the arrangement Tyler Breeze had. Breeze, who left WWE as a wrestler in 2021, continued to collaborate with the company through the UpUpDownDown channel owned by WWE. The channel, which has amassed over 2.44 million subscribers since its inception in 2015, features gaming content and Xavier Woods has been a prominent figure on the platform for years.

Despite rumors of Woods potentially departing for AEW along with his New Day partner Kofi Kingston, WWE is reportedly attempting to negotiate an arrangement to keep him engaged in their gaming and content creation initiatives. However, it remains uncertain whether Woods will accept WWE’s proposal to maintain his involvement in the gaming side of things.

Amidst speculation surrounding Woods’ future, the lack of recent updates on the UpUpDownDown channel has raised questions about the status of his collaboration with WWE. Nevertheless, the potential continuation of Woods’ involvement in WWE’s gaming projects suggests that the company values his contributions to the digital sphere.

In light of recent developments, it is evident that Xavier Woods’ departure from WWE may not mark the end of his association with the wrestling organization. While discussions are ongoing regarding his future endeavors, fans can expect to see Woods potentially continuing to engage with WWE’s gaming endeavors in the upcoming months. As the situation unfolds, the wrestling community eagerly anticipates further updates on Woods’ professional journey post-WWE.
