In a heartfelt move that’s sure to warm the cockles of the WWE Universe, WWE is dedicating an upcoming episode of Raw to celebrate one of its most beloved tag teams of all time, The New Day! That’s right, Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods are set to be honored for their legacy, even if Big E’s participation remains a bit of a mystery. But while fans might be preparing for trombones, pancakes, and high-energy antics, there’s a twist—Kofi Kingston’s reaction to the news was, well… less than jubilant.
Behind the Curtain: A Lukewarm Reception and Lingering Tension
In a segment taped after the latest Raw episode, Kingston met with General Manager Adam Pearce, who delivered the big news. Pearce, clearly expecting the kind of celebration that’d make a Fourth of July BBQ look subdued, had to nudge Kingston to show a little more enthusiasm. Kingston’s muted response raised a few eyebrows, including Pearce’s, who could almost be heard whispering, “Is there a doctor in the house for this guy’s enthusiasm?”
The lukewarm reception may be due to unresolved friction between Kingston and Woods, with tensions dating back to the arrival of Odyssey Jones, whom Kingston had welcomed into New Day activities. Woods, however, wasn’t exactly thrilled with the newcomer’s role, and the discomfort didn’t ease up even after Jones exited WWE. Since then, New Day’s win-loss record has been shakier than a ladder in a windstorm, with the pair dropping four out of their last five matches.
Will The New Day Shine Again?
With WWE’s planned tribute episode on the horizon, fans are left wondering if we’ll see The New Day back in harmony—or if Kofi and Woods’ unresolved tension will add a little extra drama to the event. One thing’s for sure: the upcoming Raw will be a celebration of positivity, power, and a tag team legacy that will go down in WWE history, pancake tosses and all!
