Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have been on a ruthless streak on Monday Night Raw for the past two months. However, last night, they took things to another level by mocking the Cleveland Browns in their own city. Adding fuel to the fire, they even referenced the infamous Myles Garrett incident, drawing outrage from the crowd.

In a fiery promo, Kingston took a shot at Cleveland, saying he couldn’t wait to leave just like Garrett was trying to. This was a direct reference to the recent controversy surrounding the Browns’ star, who reportedly requested a trade from his NFL team. The comment instantly ignited the crowd, drawing massive heat from the hometown fans.

Throughout the segment, 13,000 Cleveland fans relentlessly booed The New Day. To make matters worse for them, Kingston and Woods were booked in a tag team match against fan favorites Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee. However, thanks to a timely interference from Logan Paul, they managed to steal a victory. It marked a controversial win on the first Raw of the road to WrestleMania 41.

Lately, The New Day has been ruthless with both their words and actions in WWE. Their betrayal and underhanded tactics have even put them at odds with their own family. As WrestleMania draws closer, it will be intriguing to see how their story unfolds. Given their newfound attitude, they will likely push for a high-profile feud on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Taking to X, the 43-year-old shared a picture of himself reacting to his omission from the Royal Rumble match. Kingston called it a “miscarriage of justice” by WWE, making his frustration clear. His reaction signaled his disappointment over the company’s decision. Apparently, this was yet another repercussion from WWE management for his betrayal of Big E.

A miscarriage of justice…

It remains to be seen whether Kingston will continue to lose opportunities due to his actions against Big E in WWE. While he lashed out over being overlooked on Raw, it’s unlikely to sway management in his favor. Despite this setback, Kingston and Woods may soon set their sights on the World Tag Team Titles. With their ruthless new attitude, a championship pursuit seems inevitable.
