Big update on Xavier Woods' WWE contract
🕑 Added 2025-10-07 20:00:19 +0000 UTCAnother big WWE talent was recently in a negotiation period that came down to the wire.
Fightful Select has learned that New Day member Xavier Woods was recently in a negotiation period with WWE that resulted in him signing a multi-year extension to remain with the company. His contract would have been up in September 2025, but the two sides were able to come to terms on a deal.
Those that we spoke to said that the deal came down to the wire and was actually only finalized in September.
Woods is a former King of the Ring winner, and considered one of the greatest tag-team wrestlers of all time. He’s also instrumental in the UpUpDownDown brand, which is nearing 2.5 million subscribers.
We have no information on the deal of Kofi Kingston. In 2019, all the members of New Day signed new, matching deals. However, all of them had sustained injuries that could have possibly added injury time. Again, that isn’t confirmed to have happened either.
WWE has reached a contract impasse with a number of talent who have been willing to walk away of late, including Jazmyn Nyx, Killer Kross and Santos Escobar. However, Xavier Woods and Bronson Reed have been revealed by Fightful as staying with the company.
