The New Day React to Being Booed After Betrayal on WWE RAW

The New Day, consisting of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, faced intense backlash from fans during the December 9, 2024, episode of WWE RAW. Their heel turn continues to stir controversy as they deal with the fallout of betraying Big E.

The Fallout of Betraying Big E

On the December 2 episode of RAW, fans were shocked when Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods turned on their long-time friend and partner, Big E. This betrayal effectively ended a decade-long alliance that had defined one of WWE’s most beloved factions. When The New Day appeared on RAW a week later, the crowd was relentless, showering them with boos and chants of “New Day Sucks.”

Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston’s Reactions

Following the show, Xavier Woods took to Twitter to express his frustration, posting, “It’s like that? Ok.” This simple but pointed tweet reflected his disbelief at the hostile reception from the WWE Universe. Kofi Kingston also weighed in with a tweet of his own, simply stating, “Really?” Their reactions suggest that the negative crowd response genuinely affected them, despite their new villainous roles.

During the segment on RAW, Woods attempted to explain their actions, insisting they hadn’t physically harmed Big E. However, the crowd refused to listen, drowning him out with boos. Kingston’s sarcastic remark about how they “could have attacked Big E with a steel chair or sledgehammer instead” only fueled the crowd’s anger.

The New Day’s Successful Heel Turn

This intense backlash indicates that The New Day’s heel turn is a massive success. WWE fans have invested deeply in the trio’s legacy, making the betrayal all the more impactful. The emotional response from the audience ensures that this storyline remains one of the most talked-about angles heading into 2025.

What’s Next for The New Day?

With the WWE Universe firmly against them, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are poised to continue their villainous path. Fans eagerly await Big E’s reaction and whether he will seek revenge. This betrayal could set the stage for a dramatic confrontation in the weeks to come.
