WWE superstar Xavier Woods, a former multi-time tag team champion, has expressed his disappointment and frustration on social media after being left out of the 2024 King of the Ring tournament. Woods, a member of the popular New Day faction, took to Twitter/X to voice his discontent, specifically calling out WWE for a mistake in the match graphic featuring his teammate Kofi Kingston.
On a recent edition of Monday Night RAW, Woods faced off against Gunther, but unfortunately lost, paving the way for The Ring General’s participation in the tournament. Ironically, it was Woods who won the King of the Ring tournament in 2021, a victory that briefly sparked a feud with Roman Reigns, who went on to destroy Woods’ crown.
In a recent interview with WWE Deutschland, Woods couldn’t resist taking a subtle jab at Reigns, recalling his technical win over The Tribal Chief. Woods’ omission from the tournament has opened the door for Kofi Kingston to represent The New Day in the competition, with Kingston set to face Rey Mysterio in the first round.
Woods’ tweet, which poked fun at WWE’s mistake in the match graphic, has sparked a lively debate among WWE fans, with some expressing surprise at his exclusion from the tournament. The King of the Ring tournament has a rich history, and fans were eagerly anticipating Woods’ participation, given his past success in the competition.
As the tournament unfolds, fans will be keenly watching Kofi Kingston’s progress, hoping that he can bring the crown home for The New Day. Meanwhile, Woods’ reaction to his omission serves as a reminder of the competitive spirit and passion that drives WWE superstars to strive for excellence in the ring.
The 2024 King of the Ring tournament is shaping up to be an exciting affair, with a talented field of competitors vying for the coveted title. While Woods may not be part of the action this year, his legacy as a past winner and his recent comments will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire as the tournament reaches its climax.
