Xavier Woods has broken his silence after new WWE champions were crowned. The New Day member has been vocal about mistreatment on RAW by General Manager Adam Pearce, but this time he decided to address his grievances at a different issue.

NXT and TNA presented a crossover event called Showdown on Tuesday that featured talent from both brands. The opening match of the night saw TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz beat DarkState for the NXT Tag Team Title.

WWE posted a video of their win, and Xavier Woods shared his reaction. The decorated tag team star posted a GIF of the movie character The Grinch under the post.

Shortly afterward, Woods reposted WWE's video and this time shared a GIF of a man rubbing his hands and looking out, possibly hinting that The New Day might come for the newly crowned champions.

Woods and his tag team partner Kofi Kingston have complained about not getting a rematch after losing the World Tag Team Championship to The Judgment Day in June.


Xavier Woods has signed a new WWE contract

Xavier Woods' contract with WWE was due to expire last month. The multi-time tag team champion was able to reach an agreement with the promotion before his deal ended.

It was reported that the former King of the Ring winner has signed a multi-year extension prolonging his stay with the sports entertainment giant. Later on X, Woods confirmed that he has agreed to a new contract.

"How do yall know this stuff? I didnt say anything! But yes. You're gonna see my se*y face for a while longer even though you dont deserve it. 22 years in the game and about to make the next bit even better than the rest," Woods wrote.

The 39-year-old star has been with WWE since 2010, having first signed a developmental contract with the promotion. Over the years, he has established himself as a hugely successful and reliable star for WWE.

Sherjeel Malik

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
