The New Day's Xavier Woods Wants To Celebrate 10th Anniversary With NJPW Match

Xavier Woods, one-third of the legendary New Day, has revealed that he would love to celebrate the group's 10th anniversary with a match in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).

Speaking on the My Love Letter to Wrestling podcast, Woods said that he would like to spend a week in Tokyo, visiting arcades and competing in NJPW matches.



"I feel like the ten-year anniversary for New Day, my magic wand wish would be we get to go to Tokyo for a week. Spend time in Tokyo arcades for a full week hanging out," Woods said. "And then, as much as we can get, if we can work at other places now. I'm trying to wrestle everybody."



When asked who he would like to wrestle from other companies, Woods said that he has a long list of dream opponents.



"There are so many names on the list. It feels weird to start anywhere because I want to start everywhere. If we could legit branch out and wrestle other teams, obviously, the Young Bucks. We'd love a six-man with the Elite. There are so many people. I can't name them."



Five years ago, New Day battled The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks) in an epic Street Fighter V showdown. The Elite were victorious in the trios arcade action with Omega defeating Woods in the finale. Woods hasn't competed since the May 15 episode of WWE Raw when he lost to Dominik Mysterio. However, he has been active on social media, teasing potential matches with NJPW stars like Will Ospreay and Kota Ibushi.



It remains to be seen if Woods will get his wish to celebrate the New Day's 10th anniversary with a match in NJPW. However, there is no doubt that he would be a huge asset to the company.

Salt Lake City, 18 September - The taping of this week's Monday Night Raw on September 18, 2023, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, UT, had some last-minute changes. It seems like this kind of thing happens quite a bit on the show. According to reports, two wrestlers couldn't compete as originally planned.## As per BWE on X, Xavier Woods was supposed to be in a match, teaming up with Kofi Kingston to take on The Viking Raiders in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match. However, Woods wasn't given the green light to wrestle this week. WWE decided to switch things up and added Kofi Kingston vs. Ivar to the show instead.## Another change involved Tegan Nox, who was scheduled for a title match against Becky Lynch. But plans took a turn, and Lynch decided to put her title on the line in an open challenge, which Natalya accepted. ## It's worth noting that Xavier Woods had a knee injury a couple of years ago that caused him to miss some tapings. He's the only New Day member who's been cleared to wrestle since then. We hope Woods is okay and can get back in the ring soon. ## In the main event of the night, Drew McIntyre came out victorious in a singles match against Jey Uso. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Kofi Kingston Says Xavier Woods Is 'Just A Matter Of Time' Away From Becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion

Kofi Kingston possesses an intimate understanding of the exhilarating journey to WWE Championship glory, a path that he traversed with unyielding determination in 2019. His rise to the upper echelons of the industry culminated in a monumental triumph, as he emerged victorious in a captivating showdown against Daniel Bryan at the hallowed grandeur of WrestleMania 35, triumphantly securing the coveted WWE Title. ## Regrettably, Kingston's reign atop the WWE mountain was ephemeral, succumbing to the mighty force of Brock Lesnar on that fateful night of October 4, 2019, during an electrifying episode of SmackDown on the esteemed FOX network. However, Kofi Kingston, a true visionary and perceptive soul, perceives the promise of greatness within his esteemed comrade, Xavier Woods. ## During an enlightening appearance on the illustrious Battleground Podcast, Kingston unabashedly expressed his conviction that Xavier Woods possesses all the essential attributes to ascend to the lofty status of WWE World Heavyweight Champion. With unwavering confidence, Kingston espoused, "It's imminent, my friends. Mark my words, the time shall come. As I continue my absence from the squared circle, Woods has been gallantly forging his own path, showcasing his unparalleled talents as a singular force in the singles competition. Sadly, the masses remain unaware of the vast reservoir of aptitude that lies within him. Nevertheless, week after week, he valiantly demonstrates his mettle, leaving an indelible mark. It is only a matter of time before destiny intertwines with opportunity, and Woods claims his rightful place at the apex of our industry." ## Indeed, the stage is set for a captivating tale to unfold, an engrossing narrative that transcends the confines of the ring. The intricacies of this prophecy were subtly woven into the fabric of our consciousness during a remarkable livestream event on the acclaimed Up, Up, Down, Down platform. Under the evocative theme of "School's Out," Woods and his arch-nemesis, The Miz, engaged in a spirited rivalry through the medium of video games. A tantalizing stipulation was introduced into this digital duel, whereupon each time Woods emerged triumphant against The Miz, the esteemed competitor would be compelled to relinquish one of his cherished replica titles. And lo and behold, the climactic moment arrived, as Woods valiantly conquered The Miz, thus vanquishing him for his very own WWE Championship replica. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Xavier Woods At A Crossroads After Challenging Gunther For Intercontinental Championship

During the latest episode of WWE SmackDown on April 21, Xavier Woods made a surprising move by challenging Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. ## This was a rare moment for Woods, who had mostly been involved in tag team competitions as a member of the New Day, and had limited opportunities for solo matches. Despite his valiant efforts, Woods was unable to defeat the formidable Gunther and lost the match. ## In a WWE Digital Exclusive interview following the bout, Woods expressed his uncertainty about his future in the WWE. He seemed to be at a loss about what to do next and what his next move should be. ## “This was my shot. I hadn’t had a shot at the Intercontinental Championship since I’d been here. I got here in 2010. It’s 2023. I had one shot at Gunther, I had one shot to become champion, and I failed, and I didn’t do it. I have no Kofi here, I have no [Big] E here. ## We’re all about the power of positivity, but it’s not always easy. I don’t know what to do next, besides move forward. What is moving forward? I have no idea. But shots like this for me, specifically guys like me, come once in a career apparently. So I don’t know if I’ll ever get a shot at that again. So yes, Gunther won. Yes, Gunther is the Intercontinental Champion. I am not. So we go to work," Woods said. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
