WWE fans are gearing up for an exciting night as Jey Uso prepares to defend the Intercontinental Championship for the first time against Xavier Woods of The New Day on the October 7 edition of Monday Night Raw. This highly anticipated match not only marks a significant moment for Uso but also adds an intriguing layer to the ongoing chapter surrounding The New Day, particularly given the recent tensions among its members.
Ahead of this crucial title bout, Xavier Woods shared a glimpse into his preparations on social media.Posting a photo of himself enjoying a home-cooked meal with content creator Chris Denker (also known as Danger), Woods expressed his gratitude and excitement. He wrote, “Tomorrow I have a chance to win the Intercontinental Title. So I’m thankful to get a home cooked meal tonight.” This statement reflects Woods’ mindset as he approaches one of the biggest matches of his career, highlighting the importance of both family and tradition as he aims for championship glory.
His New Day tag team partner, former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, also took to social media to support Woods in this significant moment. In a succinct yet powerful message, Kingston wrote, “LFG” (Let’s F***ing Go), conveying his enthusiasm and belief in Woods’ potential to capture the Intercontinental Title. Kingston’s words resonate not only as encouragement for Woods but also as a reminder of the camaraderie and spirit that The New Day embodies, even amid internal challenges.
