The WWE Universe Reacts To The New Day's Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods Turning On Big E

It's a new day for The New Day as Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods turned heel on a returning Big E.

The New Day so no to Big E / WWE

Wow... The New Day is no more. At least how many of us have known and loved them for a decade.

Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods appeared to be on the verge of announcing a separation during their 10-year celebration on the 12/2 episode on Monday Night Raw. That was until Big E made his surprise return to try and reunite his longtime friends and tag team partners.

He was successful, but in a way that absolutely nobody saw coming.

When Big E offered to return to the road full-time as New Day's manager, until the day that he was cleared for in-ring competition once again, Kofi and Woods promptly channeled their mutual frustrations with each other in the direction of their third man.

It's over.

Big E is OUT.

In front of an absolutely stunned crowd in Everett, Washington, Kofi and Woods said that Big E's offer was too little too late. Criticizing E for waiting until Monday night to come back to the New Day after months of infighting.

They went on to downplay Big E's potentially career ending broken neck and then told him to stop teasing the fans, saying that he's never going to wrestle again. The pair clearly harboring resentment for Big E choosing his new analyst position in WWE over them, for choosing his new girlfriend over them.

Big E's partner was just one of many people who took to social media to address their feelings about what they were witnessing.

Nah when we bought our home I was looking forward to having the boys over…I was mentally planning to make TWO different meals to accommodate @TrueKofi vegan ass and @AustinCreedWins childish ass pallet. But since yall wanna be ungrateful crybaby ass bitches y’all can CHOKE pic.twitter.com/1lLkEQkE2N

The outright rejection of Big E allowed Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to bond once more, declaring that it was just the two of them moving forward.

The WWE Universe was experiencing a wide array of emotions Monday night. Some expressing sorrow. Others applauding the performances of all three men in a segment that truly shocked fans to their core. Here's some of the best of what people had to say about Kofi and Woods turning on Big E.

This is all I ever wanted you to see.

A New Day.

This is honestly the only way they could’ve gotten the crowd to hate Kofi & Xavier if you think about it. It just wouldn’t of had worked any other way

As much as it hurts, The New Day Anniversary segment was CINEMA.

Big E thanking Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods for being there for him when he broke his neck, only for them to turn on E because he never came back for them.

What a segment! 👏#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/i9DajPtjsc

I take it all back. @WWEBigE is the only real one out of the group with Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr. https://t.co/u6SAppl6hP

10 years of power of positivity, Booty O's, Wearing A Unicorn Horn, and Gyrating My Hips for it to end like this!? Make it Make Sense 😢 #WWERaw

Hunter swerved the hell out of me!!! I never thought that both of them would turn on E. 10/10 segment right there but seriously, Big E didn't deserve that at all. I felt bad for Big E 😞😞😞

Sad hat off, that’s one of my favourite tv segments of modern times.

I don’t think anyone expected that and it’s why The New Day (all three of them) are all-time performers. They get it. They’ve always got it.

What a fascinating way to update the team without doing a proper… pic.twitter.com/IGIk06HYsc
