WWE News: Xavier Woods teases title match against current Champion

What's the story?

The New Day appears to be dead set on earning all of the gold WWE has to offer, as the group collectively holds the Smackdown Live Tag Team Titles and the WWE Title. It was recently revealed on WWE.com that in addition to being the WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston is also considered a Tag Team Champion alongside The New Day, making Kingston a dual titleholder.

Kofi Kingston was able to defend his WWE Title in a one-on-one match against Samoa Joe, meaning it was a good night for The New Day at Extreme Rules this year, as they now turn their attention to WWE SummerSlam.

With reports indicating that Finn Balor is likely set to face Bray Wyatt at WWE SummerSlam this year before taking some time off WWE TV, it looks like Shinsuke Nakamura will be looking for new challengers to his newly won IC Title. Should Xavier Woods capture the gold, perhaps The New Day would next turn their attention to The Club?
