Xavier Woods isn’t exactly in a good mood after what went down on Monday Night Raw. Following The New Day’s loss to The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and JD McDonagh for the WWE Tag-Team Championships, Woods unleashed a fiery rant on social media—and he didn’t just come for the new champs, but fans too.

In a video posted to his official X account, Woods made it clear that some of the backlash coming his way isn’t landing—and neither are the insults from online critics.

“I’m at the airport right now, and a couple of thoughts crossed my mind,” Woods began. “I’m about to get on a plane and get back to Atlanta, Georgia. I’m gonna see my beautiful, loving family, something that most of y’all don’t have and will never have, and that’s because you’re simply not worth it.”

Woods didn’t hold back as he went after the same fans who criticize him from behind a screen.

“You spend the majority of your time scrolling on social media, thinking up very unclever ways to attempt to insult people who are more motivated than you, more attractive than you, more accomplished than you. That’s because you make the conscious choice every day to be lazy, to be unmotivated, to have another bag of chips instead of getting on the treadmill. Now your back is bigger than your dreams, but I digress.”

Woods then turned his attention to the title loss itself, making it clear he thinks The Judgment Day didn’t deserve the shot in the first place.

“That match that happened last night should have never happened in the first place,” Woods declared. “The Judgment Day wasn’t even number one contenders. The New Day is used to everyone around them being handed opportunities for no reason while we fight for every single thing that we’ve ever accomplished in this industry.”

He also took aim at how he expects those championships to be treated now that Judgment Day holds them.

“So, I hope that you’re happy. I hope you’re happy because just like last time the Judgment Day held those championships, those titles are about to become background jewelry for every single argument that they have every single week on Raw.”

Woods signed off by promising that The New Day isn’t done—they’re just regrouping.

“So Pittsburgh, hope you’re happy. America, I hope you’re happy. Matter of fact, the entire world, I hope that you are happy, because those championships are about to get no love. They’re about to get no photo shoots. They’re about to get no recognition. But The New Day will reemerge. The New Day, just like a phoenix, will rise from the ashes. We will once again reclaim what is rightfully ours. But for the time being, Kofi and myself will be in mourning. Have a bad day.”

Woods might be salty, but one thing’s for sure—the man knows how to cut a promo, even at the airport. Whether you love The Judgment Day or you’re riding with The New Day, the tag division just got a whole lot messier.
