Xavier Woods Reportedly Dealing with Injury & Pulled from WWE Travel

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that his sources stated that Xavier Woods is currently dealing with injury-related issues and has been taken off the road for travel for WWE events. Johnson reported that while the nature of Woods’ injury is not known, he was stated to be currently “banged up.”

Johnson reported that this was the reason why Woods was absent from Monday’s WWE RAW show.

Johnson also reported that Woods was seen in Birmingham, Alabama a few weeks ago, which is the same location that WWE talent travel to when needed to be medically treated for injuries.

New Day reportedly was originally advertised to be working for WWE’s RAW brand Holiday Tour house show events post-Christmas but WWE recently changed it to just Kofi Kingston making the appearances instead.
