Xavier Woods doesn’t want anything to do with Big E.
WWE Superstar Xavier Woods of The New Day recently spoke with SHAK Wrestling. When asked about how he felt at the time of Big E’s injury, Woods explained his frustrations after all they did for him, believing Big E turned his back on the group.
“We obviously don’t want death to E,” Xavier Woods said. “We don’t want that, we just don’t want anything else to do with him because he turned his back on us. But as far as his injury when it occurred, we did everything that we could to support him emotionally because we can’t go in with healing hands and fix his neck.
“So we did everything, we were there for him. We call him, text him, we put together videos. But him getting hurt and us being there for him, we felt that at work, we had to make sure that we kept something familiar for him. So that if he was to come back, he wouldn’t be in this crazy new, extra violent landscape without seeing something that he recognized. So we stayed the same. We stayed The New Day.”
Xavier Woods says The New Day didn’t evolve because of Big E
“We stayed bright and colorful and unicorn horns and yeah, ice cream and pancakes, we stayed that way for E, not realizing that E wasn’t going to come back until there was a spotlight to be had. So we should have evolved and changed into something else years ago. Every single other person on the roster has been able to explore their minds and explore the new space that we have. We have guys like Bron Breakker on the roster now — killers! We have guys like Bronson Reed — killers!
“And we’re supposed to stay the same as we were? No, we can’t, but we did for E. So people don’t want to recognize that fact. They just want to say, we miss E. Well, then cool. Go follow E on his socials. Go see him doing his Amazing Spider-Man Show, go see him doing his Netflix shows. Follow him there. Don’t bring that to our doorstep anymore, because it’s nothing to do with us.”
