Big E addresses ongoing New Day WWE tension

Over the past few months, WWE fans has seen growing tensions being showcased by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of the New Day.
After being targeted by Karrion Kross and The Final Testament, Woods started to feel insecure about his lack of singles success in comparison to his New Day stablemates. That has only be compounded by the fact the duo has been unable to capture tag team gold since 2021.

Speaking with Sports Talk Philly, New Day’s Big E discussed the recent tension between Woods and Kingston. He said:
“We’ve had a long run. Ten years is a very long time. We’ve been guys where you’ve never really seen any tension from us, but Kofi and Woods right now are going through a bit of turmoil.”
“I think that happens in any marriage, whether it’s a long-lasting one or not. But that’s how people approach being a team together: it feels very much like a marriage in the way you communicate, and sometimes you’re not always on the same page.”
“I don’t know exactly what he’s alluding to. I’ve for the most part been hands-off with what those guys are going through right now.”
“I’m still very connected, but it’s one of those things where I don’t want to meddle or be involved if I’m not asked to be involved. I’m hopeful that whatever they are going through they will figure out.”

Reflecting on their team as we come close to the 10 year anniversary of The New Day, Big E said:
“We spent a decade together, even at a time when no one foresaw us doing these incredible things.”
“The only reason we made it through the tough times in 2014 and 2015 was because we stuck together. It was us against everyone that stood in our way.”
“So I hope more than anything that those guys always remember why we started this, why we came together and how much we care about each other.”
“Ultimately, that’s really what matters, even when we’re done wrestling. It’s a friendship and a bond that will survive long past our in-ring days, and I hope they never forget that.”
