Then only moments later, Cory Hayes of Bodyslam.net and Fightful Select reported that The New Day have decided to leave the Stamford-based promotion, and the decision was said to be mutual.

This comes as a surprise since both stars were the mainstays of WWE’s tag team division for a very long time. Kingston signed with the promotion in 2006, while Woods has been a part of the sports entertainment giant since 2010. Alongside Big E, they dominated the tag team division and the tag titles 13 times.

As the news of their departure surfaced online, fans, still reeling from the releases on April 24, were left frustrated. Many of them were in disbelief that such a long-tenured duo was no longer in WWE. Taking to X, many of them expressed their shock at the news.

“Yeah this company is done. F*ck tko,” a fan wrote.

Another fan termed the development as sickening, saying Kofi Kingston is a sure shot for the Hall of Fame.

“I feel sick. I don’t care about Woods, but they did this to Kofi, who’s a certified Hall of Famer. It’s sickening,” the fan wrote.

@Cory_Hays407 @SeanRossSapp I feel sick. I don’t care about Woods but they did this to Kofi who’s a certified Hall of Famer. It’s sickening

Another fan targeted Chief Content Officer Triple H, saying he fumbled the decorated tag team’s run.

“Triple H fumbles everything,” the fan said.

Check out other reactions from fans below:

@Cory_Hays407 @SeanRossSapp This is such a shame & quite a big shock. Honestly don’t know what WWE are doing anymore. There won’t be much of a roster left the way things are going.

@Cory_Hays407 @SeanRossSapp This is absolutely ridiculous! There’s no way this was mutual. Look at their recent socials! They were gearing up for a return with Woods getting medically cleared! Don’t repeat the WWE BS talking points! They got fired!


@Cory_Hays407 @SeanRossSapp Just end the tag division END IT NOOOOW🤦🏾‍♂️😒😒


New Day’s WWE departure is an end of era

It was in 2014 that The New Day first started competing in WWE as a faction. After a few hiccups on the road, they got over with the fans and became one of the most popular acts on weekly programming.

Their rivalry with The Usos was largely credited with reviving the company’s tag team division. Apart from success as a team, two of its members, Big E and Kofi Kingston, also won the WWE Championship.

After their most recent heel turn after Big E’s retirement, the faction lost its way to an extent. Woods has been dealing with a shoulder injury, forcing him to miss WrestleMania 42, while Kofi didn’t feature in any prominent storylines as well.
