On May 2, 2026, WWE and TKO announced the departure of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, members of The New Day, following a mutual decision. The news shook fans, as the stable, which includes Big E, has been a cornerstone of the company since 2014. Kofi, with twenty uninterrupted years, is only surpassed in seniority by Randy Orton and The Miz.
The technological engine behind the longest-running stable 🚀
The longevity of The New Day was no coincidence. Woods, known for his streaming and developer side, used audience data analysis to adjust his promos and ringside movements. He also integrated real-time editing software for his entrances, synchronizing LED lights and audio with millimeter precision. This technical approach kept a formula fresh that other teams exhausted in months.

And while Kofi and Woods leave, Big E stays home watching replays of his neck injury. At least now he can join Woods' streaming without having to ask Vince for permission. The downside is that, without the group contract, he'll have to pay for his own Netflix. That said, his TikTok account on artisanal cheeses promises more action than the last season of Raw.
