WWE Star Taking Time Off Due To Shoulder Injury

WWE logo The New Day

One WWE star has been forced to take time away from the company due to a shoulder injury.

The injury issues continue to pile up in WWE. In late 2025, Seth Rollins was forced to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship after suffering a serious injury during his Crown Jewel match with Cody Rhodes. Rollins was brutally betrayed by The Vision, the week before he had to relinquish his crown.

The Vision themselves have now suffered with Bron Breakker undergoing surgery that Paul Heyman lamented could have been career-ending.

Bianca Belair has been out of action since WrestleMania 41, and she’s only recently undergone more surgery on the finger injury that has stopped her from competing for several months.

New Day Star Joins WWE Injured List

Now, on the February 16th edition of Raw, Kofi Kingston appeared during a commercial break with some “devastating” news. Kingston told everyone that Xavier Woods has been battling a shoulder injury for three months, and now medical staff were “forcing” Woods to take time off.

Grayson Waller then read an apparent message from Woods where he insulted the Memphis crowd and called them ugly.

The last time Woods was in the ring was as part of a dark match held prior to the Royal Rumble. He teamed with Kingston and Waller as they lost to Shinsuke Nakamura and The Motor City Machine Guns.
