The New Day and their newfound edge finally pay off in dividends at WWE WrestleMania 41. At the tail-end of 2024, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were on a collision course that could’ve ultimately led to the duo splitting up. Instead, they chose to blame Big E for their shortcomings as a team. From then on, Woods and Kingston were public enemy number one. But that didn’t matter because they wanted only one thing: to dethrone The War Raiders and become World Tag Team Champions.
At WWE WrestleMania 41, their plans ultimately bore fruit. With a swift Daylight from The New Day, and with Kofi Kingston holding down Ivar’s leg, leaving him unable to kick out while Xavier Woods pinned him, it was lights out for The War Raiders. Before Erik or Ivar ever knew what hit them, The New Day had already become eight-time champions.
Whether you agree or disagree with The New Day’s actions over the past half a year, the WWE Universe can’t argue the results. Call it a mean streak or “turning to the dark side,” but the fact of the matter is, The New Day are your #AndNEW World Tag Team Champions at WWE WrestleMania 41.
