Ricochet Sends Warning To The New Day After WWE Exit

Ricochet didn’t stay quiet after news broke that Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were leaving WWE, firing off a quick reaction that instantly grabbed attention.

Kingston and Woods departing WWE marked the end of one of the company’s most recognizable tag team runs, closing the book on more than a decade of dominance as members of The New Day. Their exit sparked reactions across the wrestling world, including several AEW names weighing in shortly after the news surfaced.

Ricochet was among those who reacted publicly, taking to social media with a playful message that referenced his past gaming rivalry with the duo. Rather than focusing on the business side of things, he leaned into humor and familiarity tied to their known love of gaming.

“Gonna be able to kick thier ass in @Tekken again. It is indeed a New Day. 👌🏽 #Ahaa”

His response joined reactions from others across AEW, including names like MJF and Cash Wheeler, who also acknowledged the major shift caused by Kingston and Woods leaving WWE.

The New Day built one of the most successful tag team legacies in WWE history, collecting multiple tag team title reigns and becoming a defining part of WWE programming for over a decade. With both men now officially out of WWE, attention is quickly turning toward what comes next — and how other companies and talent might respond.

Ricochet’s message may have been lighthearted, but it shows how closely watched this situation is across the industry as more reactions continue to roll in.
