Vince McMahon ‘Lost His Mind’ Over Xavier Woods’ Trombone The First Time He Used It

WWE has many gimmicks that have stood the test of time. Xavier Woods’ trombone became synonymous with his act. It hasn’t gone away for a reason, because Vince McMahon absolutely loved it.

Insight with Chris Van Vliet recently spoke to Xavier Woods about his career. That trombone gimmick really struck with Vince McMahon.

“So at that point, we were trying to see what they would say yes to, and things that we could do.

“They were like, ‘Hey, we want you guys to come down and like sing a song …’ And I go to the guys like, ‘You think they’ll give us a trombone?’”

“Ultimately, they felt confident due to their track record. “We texted them back, and we all kind of like waited with bated breath, and then they go, ‘Yeah, we can get you a trombone.’”

Xavier Woods disclosed that the initial plan was for him to return the trombone after its debut appearance. However, to his surprise, he discovered that there had been a change of plan.

“So I started playing it during the match, and one of the camera guys is like crying.

“He goes, ‘You gotta keep playing that trombone! Vince is losing his mind, crying laughing, He’s loving this.’

“Vince is like, ‘That’s yours now. I never want to see you without a trombone now.’”

We’ll have to see what Xavier Woods next. At this time, Woods is the only member of the New Day that has remained active for all this time, due to injuries for Kofi Kingston and Big E. Hopefully, he will continue to remain a highlight on any show he’s on.
