WWE Roster Cuts: Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods Part Ways with Company

  • Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have departed WWE by "mutual consent," concluding their tenure as The New Day after 20 and 16 years with the company, respectively.
  • Formed in 2014, The New Day became wrestling's most decorated tag team, winning 13 championship titles during their 12-year partnership across WWE Raw and SmackDown.
  • Their career includes the longest Raw tag team title reign at 483 days and seven SmackDown championships, while Kingston, a former WWE Champion, established himself as a premier performer.
  • The mutually agreed departure follows WWE's recent roster cuts last week, when more than a dozen wrestlers were released as part of broader organizational changes affecting 23 performers.
  • It remains unclear if Kingston and Woods will join rival promotion All Elite Wrestling , though many former WWE superstars including Jon Moxley and Samoa Joe have previously transitioned there.
