Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods leaving WWE already surprised the world, but now the conversation is shifting to what could come next, and AEW is definitely excited.
While MJF decided to create speculation with his quick reaction to their WWE exit, there’s now growing talk inside All Elite Wrestling about the possibility of The New Day showing up.
According to PWInsider, there’s noticeable excitement within AEW circles about what Kingston and Woods could bring if they land in the company. It’s not a done deal, but internally, people are already thinking about the possibilities.
"There is a lot of excitement in AEW circles about the potential of The New Day coming into the company, PWInsider.com can confirm."
One idea that keeps coming up? A long-teased bout that never actually happened. Sources pointed out that The Young Bucks and The New Day have been hinting at a match for years — across interviews, social media, and fan discussions — but timing and company lines always kept it from happening. Now, for the first time, that match could realistically be on the table.
"We've heard from a number of people connected to the company who pointed out that The Young Bucks and New Day have teased the idea of wrestling each other going many years back, but now everyone may finally be able to actually deliver that bout. That doesn't mean the team is coming in, but there are some who are excited about the idea of that match finally happening."
That doesn’t confirm Kingston and Woods are AEW-bound, but the interest is clearly there. And with both men now free agents after wrapping up one of WWE’s most successful tag team runs, it’s easy to see why that possibility is getting attention.
Bottom line—nothing is confirmed, but the hype is real. AEW is already thinking about what The New Day could bring, and one potential dream match is front and center in those conversations.
Do you think AEW should make a move for The New Day, or would you rather see Kingston and Woods take a different path next? Sound off in the comments.
