Big E Comments On Current Tension Within The New Day

Big E weighs in on the turmoil.

There seems to be trouble in paradise for The New Day lately, but Big E isn’t too worried. During a recent interview with Sports Talk Philly addressed the brewing tension between his New Day comrades Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.

In doing so, Big E also addressed a cryptic X post that Woods put out recently, which insinuated that he may see some “old friends” soon.

“We’ve had a long run. Ten years is a very long time. We’ve been guys where you’ve never really seen any tension from us, but Kofi and Woods right now are going through a bit of turmoil,” Big E said. “I think that happens in any marriage, whether it’s a long-lasting one or not. But that’s how people approach being a team together: it feels very much like a marriage in the way you communicate, and sometimes you’re not always on the same page.”

Big E is ‘Hopeful’ That Kingston & Woods Can Sort Things Out Themselves

Regarding Woods’ cryptic social media post, Big E admitted that he was unaware of what Woods was referring to. He is hopeful, however, that Woods and Kingston can soon return to a harmonious state on their own, while he continues to recover from a March 2022 neck injury.

“I’m still very connected, but it’s one of those things where I don’t want to meddle or be involved if I’m not asked to be involved,” Big E said. “I’m hopeful that whatever they are going through they will figure out. We spent a decade together, even at a time when no one foresaw us doing these incredible things. The only reason we made it through the tough times in 2014 and 2015 was because we stuck together.

“It was us against everyone that stood in our way. So I hope more than anything that those guys always remember why we started this, why we came together and how much we care about each other,” Big E continued. “Ultimately, that’s really what matters, even when we’re done wrestling. It’s a friendship and a bond that will survive long past our in-ring days, and I hope they never forget that.”
