Xavier Woods of The New Day encountered an injury setback during a recent episode of WWE RAW, which will keep him sidelined from action for a period of time.
The injury occurred during The New Day’s match against The Viking Raiders, where Drew McIntyre, accompanied by Matt Riddle at ringside, inadvertently struck Woods with a chair aimed at Erik.
The unexpected mishap led to a cervical strain for Woods. WWE promptly addressed the situation through a social media statement, outlining the details of the injury.
“Xavier Woods suffered a cervical strain after getting hit with a chair thrown by Drew McIntyre. He is considered week-to-week and will miss the upcoming Monday Night RAW.”
Xavier Woods himself shared an update on his condition on social media the day following the RAW episode. He revealed that medical professionals have advised him to refrain from entering the ring for the next week’s WWE RAW due to the whiplash sustained from the chair incident. Expressing his disappointment at being unable to perform on his birthday, Woods assured fans that he would be back in action the following week.
As of this writing, the nature of the injury, whether it is part of the storyline or a legitimate occurrence, remains uncertain.
Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle are scheduled to face The Viking Raiders in the aftermath of the WWE Payback event. As the wrestling community awaits further updates, Xavier Woods’ condition will undoubtedly be a topic of interest and concern among fans.
