The New Day have taken a darker turn since their heel turn a few months ago. They believed they deserved a title shot and earned one by defeating the L.W.O. However, after losing the World Tag Team Title match, Kofi Kingston was furious and shared his frustration on social media.

Kingston took to X and called the result of their match against The War Raiders “outrageous.” He claimed that Erik and Ivar deliberately got themselves disqualified just to retain their titles. The former WWE Champion called them cowards and accused them of ruining a historic day for the fans.

On the latest episode of Raw, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston got their title shot against The War Raiders. In the final moments of the match, Woods tried to hit Ivar with a steel chair while the referee was distracted. However, the plan backfired as Ivar struck Woods with the chair instead, and got himself disqualified.

OUTRAGEOUS! THE WAR RAIDERS GOT THEMSELVES DQ’D ON PURPOSE! THEY ROBBED US! AND ROBBED YOU FROM WITNESSING HISTORY! COWARDS!

According to WWE rules, a disqualification doesn’t cost the champions their titles. The New Day are expected to get a rematch against The War Raiders, but it’s unclear if it will take place at WrestleMania. Woods and Kingston, who turned heel after kicking their injured friend Big E out of the group, will be aiming for a record 13th tag team title reign if the match happens.

Many fans saw Kingston’s frustration as nothing more than an excuse for their failed plan. While some agreed with him and suggested he demand a rematch at WrestleMania, others told him to own up to his mistakes. Although the referee disqualified Erik and Ivar for using a weapon in the title match, they still managed to retain their titles.

One fan suggested that Triple H should book a TLC match for the tag titles between the two teams at the Showcase of the Immortals. Another fan, while admitting they liked The New Day, pointed out that it was clear that Woods was the one who cheated. Some fans were disappointed and felt that the veteran team deserved much better. Here are some of the top fan reactions:

One user pointed out a serious issue, claiming there was injustice toward Black wrestlers in both WWE and AEW. Another user trolled the former WWE Champion, saying The New Day were nothing without Big E. Overall, fans held The New Day responsible for their actions and felt they didn’t deserve another title shot.

The heel duo of Kingston and Woods have received immense hate for kicking their best friend Big E out of the group. However, it looks like they don’t have any regrets for the damage they had done to the WWE Universe’s emotions. They mocked and disrespected the former WWE Champion with their posts on social media.

Ahead of their title match against The War Raiders, Kingston took to X and remembered his historic WWE title win at WrestleMania 35. He stated that the fans were going to witness another historic moment when they win the tag titles on Raw. However, what was even more unexpected was that Big E was cropped from the pic, where he and Woods lifted Kingstone to celebrate his win.

Being the only one there supporting @TrueKofi in this moment was amazing. Tonight we make history again.

The cropped picture made it look like only the former King of the Ring was lifting Kingston on his shoulders, showcasing an impressive display of strength. Woods joined in on the fun, saying he was proud to be there to celebrate his best friend’s victory. Once again, they mocked Big E by acting as if he no longer existed in their lives. Unfortunately for them, they failed to win the tag titles from The War Raiders.
