As noted before, New Day’s Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston departed from WWE this past May following a mutual decision from both sides over New Day not accepting a new restructured deal offer to stay in the company. AEW has been very interested in potentially signing Woods and Kingston following their departures from WWE. Kingston and Woods are currently going by the ring names of Kofi and Austin Creed for their post-WWE wrestling careers.
Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reported that his sources would not outright confirm if Creed and Kofi have already signed with AEW when asked.
Those spoken to reportedly stated that Creed and Kofi are currently expected to be joining AEW soon.
In regards to the AEW World Tag Team Championship match between the Young Bucks and Cage & Cope at All In 2026, Sapp reported that fans have just been fantasy booking Kofi & Creed to be featured in the match alongside Motor City Machine Guns and FTR. Those spoken to reportedly stated that AEW officials currently do not have plans in place to add extra teams to the match.
Sapp also reported that FTR are currently booked for other things in London during AEW’s All In week in the city.
