WWE Star Disgusted By Clear Mismanagement On Raw

Triple H on the mic on WWE Raw

Xavier Woods has made accusations of “clear mismanagement” in WWE’s tag team division.

On Saturday Night’s Main Event, Damian Priest and Finn Balor failed to end Gunther’s World Heavyweight Title reign. The match ended after the champion Powerbombed Priest on the steel steps and then did the same to Balor in the ring for the pinfall victory. Balor could console himself with the fact he is still one-half of the reigning World Tag Team Champions alongside JF McDonagh. However, there is unrest in the tag team division over The Judgment Day pair’s reign.

Ahead of Balor’s title bout, Xavier Woods asked Raw GM Adam Pearce if, in the event of the star winning, it would be “another 70 days” before he and McDonagh defended the tag titles. Woods was referencing the fact that since winning the gold in June, Balor and McDonagh have only defended the titles twice.

“Hey @ScrapDaddyAP if Finn wins the world heavyweight title tonight then is it gonna be another 70 days before the world tag titles are defended again?”

Pearce responded by pointing out that the last time Woods and Kofi Kingston tagged together, they took a quick loss to Alpha Academy. An incensed Woods then accused Pearce of mismanagement and acting like a troll.

“I ask a legitimate question about your clear mismanagement of the tag division and instead of answering, you respond like a troll.

“This was judgment days first defense 70 days into their reign. But I guess you only wanna rectify things when it suits you.”

Xavier Woods Told To Stay Away From Kofi Kingston

While they are now a highly successful team, earlier in his career Xavier Woods was told he was too similar to Kofi Kingston and should stay away from him. The star explained that people thought he would be seen as a “secondary Kofi” if the pair were seen to be doing similar things.
